Behavior Based Safety Certificate

$249
Calendar Next available session starts Apr 29, 2026 at 9 am

Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) is essentially a behavioral intervention aiming to provide employees with effective feedback, reinforcement, and recognition of hazards. These hazards are not uncommon and can be found in many settings.

  • Listing behaviors that are deemed unsafe.         
  • Understanding and recognizing common but not well known hazards or potential hazards        
  • The importance of creating a BBS and hazard recognition checklist.        
  • Determine a system that can account for hazards both in the workplace and for remote or traveling employees and the environments they may encounter.        
  • Teaching and conducting behavioral observations in a workplace but also teaching what may constitute hazards in other settings remote from a fixed work environment.         
  • How to provide appropriate feedback depending on the behavior of the employees or how to address hazards once found in all settings.        
  • Use the data gathered from observing employees and make necessary changes.        
  • Using basic recognition techniques and mitigation skills to address and resolve common hazards        
  • Creating a system to report hazards both in and out of a normal work environment.
