  4. 3 DISTINCT ELEMENTS OF SAFETY III 3…BEHAVIOR: (WHAT PEOPLE DO) • WE ARE ATTRACTED TO NEGATIVE BEHAVIOR • WHO DROVE THE SPEED LIMIT THIS WEEKEND/TODAY? • WHO TEXTED OR TALKED ON CELL COMING HERE TODAY ? • WE PUSH THE ENVELOPE

  5. NEAR MISSES: • UNSAFE BEHAVIORS DON’T ALWAYS RESULT IN ACCIDENTS • NEAR MISSES ARE GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES TO PREVENT FUTURE ISSUES • DON’T IGNORE UNSAFE BEHAVIOR • WE DO A LOT OF UNSAFE THINGS & GET AWAY WITH IT.. DOES THAT MAKE IT OK? • EVENTUALLY IT WILL CATCH UP TO US

  6. What is Behavior Based Safety • Human behavior causes most accidents • – Comfort • – Saving Time • – Convenience • – Lack of understanding and training • – Complacency • – Wrong Safety focus • – Celebrating production over safety

  7. SAFETY TOOLS NEEDED: • Safety Manual • – Procedures • – MSDS MANUALS • – PPE • – Observations • – Audits

  8. ACCEPTED PERCEPTIONS RIGHT HAND VS LEFT HAND

  9. BEHAVIORAL BASED SAFETY… • IT CANNOT BE SUCCESSFUL STANDING ALONE • IT IS AN ELEMENT TO BE USED IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER ELEMENTS • CAN’T BE THE FLAVOR OF THE MONTH • IT’S NOT A MAGIC BULLET OR SHORTCUT…..

  10. INCENTIVE PROGRAMS…. • Incentive programs can give a wrong focus on safety and health. • They will not improve the HSE • It will just give us more “fat cats”

  11. FOUNDATION CONCEPTS… It is better to slay a dragon than to teach people ways to live peacefully with him!!! WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRADITIONAL & BEHAVIORAL–BASED SAFETY PROGRAMS???

  12. TRADITIONAL…….. • TYPICALLY A TOP-DOWN APPROACH • FOCUS ON REGUALTIONS & PROCEDURES • TREATS SYMPTOMS • EXTERNAL ENFORCEMENT • DO AS I SAY…JUST DO IT… BUT WHEN BACK IS TURNED…THEY WILL DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO

  13. BEHAVIORAL BASED….. • IS A BOTTOM-UP APPROACH • FOCUS ON EMPLOYEE BEHAVIORS • ADDRESSES ROOT CAUSES • INTERNAL ENFORCEMENT

  14. BY THE NUMBERS: ACCIDENT/INCIDENT INCIDENTS…….600 PROPERTY DAMAGE... 30 MINOR INJURY…10 LOST-TIME INJURY….1 CHANGE BEHAVIOR AT “600” LEVEL & YOU CAN PREVENT THE OTHER 3 RESULTING ITEMS

  15. $$$$ THE COST $$$$ FOR EVERY $1.00 OF DIRECT COSTS FOR INJURY/ILLNESS THERE ARE UP TO $100.00 OF INDIRECT COSTS

  16. BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS I • WHAT ARE BEHAVIORS? • ARE BEHAVIORS OBSERVABLE? • ARE BEHAVIORS INHERENTLY “GOOD” OR “BAD”?

  17. BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS II • BEHAVIORS RESULT IN POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES FOR WORKERS. • IMMEDIATE, SURE & GOOD CONSEQUENCES REINFORCED. • IMMEDIATE, SURE & BAD CONSEQUENCES REFUTED.

  18. Unsafe Acts vs. Unsafe Conditions 80-85% of all incidents are the result of unsafe acts; 15-20% of all incidents are the result of unsafe conditions. Question: If true, why are most efforts geared towards unsafe conditions? Answer: It’s easier to deal with unsafe conditions than unsafe acts.
