Understanding Behavior-Based Safety in the Workplace

Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) is a proactive approach that involves everyone in safety improvement, starting with leadership commitment. It focuses on addressing at-risk behaviors to prevent injuries, supports existing safety processes, and helps achieve world-class safety performance. BBS is not about blaming individuals or punishing failure but rather enhancing traditional risk management techniques. By engaging all employees, BBS aims to create a safer work environment.
