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. 

This program helps improve safety conditions in the workplace and the recognition of other hazards present both in the workplace and potentially a home. The program is meant to educate and increase situational awareness of the employees based on hazard observations and unsafe behavioral observations. 

Training will cover:

• The importance of creating a team that will initiate the BBS program.        
• Listing behaviors that are deemed unsafe.         
• Understanding and recognizing common but not well know 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.        
• Encourage employees to set achievable goals for both behavior based corrections and hazard corrections in all workplace environments
