 1960’s – 1st formal study – Posters = Behavior Change
Fortune 500 companies begin use of behavioral principles with
Quality, Productivity
 1970’s – Robust academic studies = Fledgling BBS
movement.
 1980’s – US Academe & Commercialization = BBS providers.

 Behavior Is What a Person Does or Says.
 What Causes a Person to Take This Particular Behavior or
Course of Action Depends On Other Influencing Factors.
 Attitude and Situational Conditions Cause The Particular
Behavior.
 What Influences Behavior :-
 Motivation.
 Intelligence.
 Emotions.
 Experience.
 Attitude
 Situational Conditions

5.
 When a Persons Attitude Changes, His or Her Behavior Will
Typically Follow. Assuming He or She Has Adequate
Knowledge of the Safe Working Conditions in the Work
Environment.
 When You Eliminate Every Other Reason for Unacceptable
Behavior, What Is Left It Attitudinal.
 If a Person Understands That His or Her Safety at Work is
Controllable in a Measurable Way, Acceptance of Safety as an
Essential Part of the Work Environment Will Be Increased.
Safe Attitudes and Behaviors Will Naturally Follow.
 Motivation changes attitude and attitude drives behavior.

6.
 A process that creates a safety partnership between management
and employees that continually focuses people's attentions and
actions on theirs, and others, daily safety behavior.
 BBS "focuses on what people do, analyzes why they do it, and
then applies a research-supported intervention strategy to
improve what people do".
 The application of behavioral psychology to promote safe
behavior in the workplace using employee involvement.
 They collect some observations data in an organization and then
analyze to reduce injury and continuous improvement in safety.

7.
 Injuries are going up.
 Most traditional safety programs plateau.
 To achieve zero accidents we need to change our thinking.
 96% of injuries are a result of unsafe behaviors.
 Measurement of incidents and injuries is reactive.
 Measurement of behaviors is proactive.
 Behavior modification is dealing with the root cause.
 Cultural change.
 Stop the accident cycle.

8.
 It is a process through which work groups can identify, measure
and change their behaviors.
 This applies principles of ABC behavior model.
 Traditional behavior-based safety approaches:-
1.Identify Unsafe behaviors
2.Train workforce to observe
3.Praise safe behavior , feedback about at-risk behavior
4.Use statistics to develop interventions

9.
 1.Taking shortcuts
 i. Time pressure
 ii. Culture of production over safety
 2.Complacency/habit
 i. Distractions
 ii. Managers not “walking the talk”
 3.Fatigue
 i. Poor shift scheduling
 ii. High workload

10.
 4.Lack of risk perception
 i. Issues on mind
 ii. Inadequate communication
 iii. Poor visual cues
 5.Human error
 i. Lack of training
 ii. Poor procedures
 iii. Poor machine Use ability

11.
 All injuries can be prevented. Our goal is zero
incidents.
 Management is accountable for preventing occupational
injuries and illnesses.
 Safety is a condition of employment.
 Safe work must be reinforced and unsafe acts and conditions
must be corrected.
 Injuries, incidents and near misses must be investigated.
 Employees must be allowed to participate in the prevention of
injuries and illnesses.

 Antecedents
(trigger behavior)
 Behavior
(human performance)
 Consequences
(either reinforce or punish behavior)

15.
 Three Elements:-
 Activator - is a person, place, thing, coming before a behavior
that encourages you to perform that behavior.
 Activators only set the stage for behavior or performance -
they don’t control it.
 Behavior - is something you can see a person doing.
 Any directly measurable thing that a person does, including
speaking, acting, and performing physical functions.

16.
 Consequence – Events that follow behaviors.
 Events that follow behaviors and change the probability that
they will recur in the future
