Behavioral Based Safety IHTIMAM Carillion Alawi LLC
What is Behavior Based Safety? • BBS promotes interventions between people when performing work tasks, it is based on peoples behaviors. Observations can be one to one or even group observations. It involves giving feedback on safety related behavior. • This is a proactive approach to safety, we believe if we intervene and coach when we see an unsafe behavior we can eliminate a potential incident from happening. • This does not mean that we only look for unsafe behaviors, we look for good behaviors too, and provide feedback to reinforce the good behavior, so it keeps happening! BEHAVIOR ICEBERG • It is Important to understand behaviors and what influences them. • Antecedents are what trigger people to conduct a behavior. Some example are: • Moral • Stress • Fatigue • Peer Pressure • Production Pressure • Normalization of Risk • Motivation to Work Safely • Understanding the Hazards

Development Awareness Sessions Coaching Sessions • It was important to understand behaviours, and what influences them in order to successfully identify the at risk behaviours • Data analysis of injury reports over since the beginning of our contract . • We Identified the behaviours that led to the injury, form this we categorize behaviours under common variables • Research - Before we developed the training. • Informing - We explained the concept of the behaviour scheme using samples of incidents over the years. • We incorporated the Pareto Principle also known as the 80/20 rule**. Therefore we concentrate on the 20% top behaviours; broke these down into work streams e.g. electrical team; plumbers; metal smiths; carpenters etc. The reason for this, is the behaviour risk for carpenter is different to say kitchen staff or cleaner (**The 80/20 rule is the idea that by focusing on 20% of the most critical behaviours that cause your injuries, you will eliminate 80% of your injuries)
Change Management Awareness Sessions Coaching Sessions • People normally are sceptical about new initiatives, "Our Company is incapable of change.“ “This is just another gimic…” • Statistics show that 70 % of such initiatives undertaken by companies fail. • Management acceptance and implementation of behaviour-based safety is a step in the right direction. • For long-lasting organisational change, everyone must make a behavioural change, not only the operational staff, Management from the very top is an integral part to the change for this to work
BBS - Risk to Failing Awareness Sessions Coaching Sessions • A behavioural safety process is to observe others, usually described as "an observational process“. • Behaviour-based safety is not primarily about observation and participation! • It’s about understanding what about what activates that behaviour in the first instance. • A common mistake is assuming that your organisation has correctly implemented behavioural safety because its employees are performing observations on a daily, weekly and monthly basis • Conducting observations does not necessarily lead to change the way people behave at work. In most instances, it only changes the way they behave when they are being observed! • Remember that unsafe behaviours are habitual in most employees as they have done something the same way for so long that they are not conscious of their behaviour. • Do not expect success results over night
Lessons Learnt Awareness Sessions Coaching Sessions • Completion of the ABC Analysis (Antecedent-Behaviour-Consequence) is a simple method of systematically analysing the activators and consequences of influencing behaviour. • Positive reinforcement is the key to replacing unsafe work habits with safe habits. • Ensure you have the resources for training the principles and application of positive reinforcement. • We identified that unsafe behaviour or risk taking (including taking shortcuts/risks in implementing behaviour-based safety) occurs because it has some natural positive reinforcers.
Lessons Learnt - Risk to Failing Awareness Sessions Coaching Sessions • Ensure Positive recognition - A BBS scheme will die a slow death because operation staff will get tired of the additional work and responsibility without receiving adequate positive recognition and reinforcement for their efforts. • Training is the launch pad for change but is only worthwhile if followed by feedback and positive reinforcement for new desirable behaviours. • It is through training that roles and responsibilities are communicated.
CARD OBSERVATIONS • 83% of cards are safe and the remaining are unsafe. • 95% of behaviors are safe. • 50% of unsafe observations are on ‘other’ behaviors which are mainly conditions and equipment. • Need to identify if the behaviors are not critical or need to be retired or if they are accurate. • Quality of cards improve with time. • Rejected cards are mainly due to cards being related to unsafe conditions and equipment, however this should not be the case.
Sustainability Review Summary 85% 85% Overall Satisfaction CONS PROS Majority find the system simple and easy to use The crew feel confident to intervene and more interventions are being done Supervisors are becoming more accepting to be intervened. The communication between supervisor and crew is improving The communication between coastal and field staff is improving The people like the name Ihtimam and the method of the implementation, they feel the need to care for each other. The people believe that Ihtimam is having a positive influence on their safety culture. The crew stated there is more awareness now on at risk behaviours due to how the behaviours are written on the card. Because Ihtimam is being followed up and there is an action tracking system the crew believe changes to their work environment will finally happen. Feedback between the supervisor and crew needs to be improved Management visibility needs to be improved on site Actions need to be closed out faster. Some supervisors are not advocates for safety and in turn their crew fear to intervene. Language is a major concern, most supervisors do not speak the same language as their crew and is difficult to communicate. Also many are illiterate and have asked for pictorials. Some believe the training should be a bit more detailed to add more benefit to the supervisors. And that training should also be given to the crew by the Ihtimam team. The blame culture is still apparent in certain disciplines. Improvements need to be made on the database for further ease and clearer overview of performance.
