Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) is a way to improve workplace safety by focusing on what people do, why they do it, and how to help them do it more safely. It creates a partnership between employees and management to keep everyone's attention on safe behaviors every day.

BBS uses proven techniques from a field called organizational behavior management to understand and change behaviors in real-world situations. The goal is to make safety a shared responsibility and a regular part of how everyone works.

The Community Emergency Response Team Certificate (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations.

Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help.

CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community.

Course format:
This program is offered in-person in two different locations.
