Here comes the Safety Man…

• Historically worker safety was followed by the company “Safety Man” who enforces company policy and procedures to help protect employees.

Page 15: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

OSHA

• The Safety Man’s ability to enforce Safety policy and procedure was greatly aided with the implementation of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration

Page 16: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

Injuries Continue

•Even with the Implementation of OSHA, employees

continue to get hurt on the job.

Page 17: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

Research has proven Injuries, are just the tip of the Iceberg

Page 18: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

A New Approach

A new idea has been developed to help

protect workers

Page 19: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

Something different

• Behavior-based safety - a philosophy of identifying and preventing accidents, particularly in the workplace environment. Unsafe behavior triggers accidents and injury, resulting in a loss of productivity and workers compensation claims.

Page 20: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

Behavioral Based Safety

• If the underlying behavior can be stopped.

• The injury can be prevented.

• This can be accomplished with a Behavioral Based Safety Program

Page 21: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

Establishing Program• Buy in and support from all decision makers• Not based on:– Assumptions– Personal feelings– Common knowledge

• But is based on:– Scientific knowledge

Page 22: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

Parts of a Behavioral Based Safety Program

• Common goals

• Target behaviors from safety assessments

• Observational data collection

• Decisions based on data

• Feedback associated with observations

Page 23: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

Attitude Adjustment

Behavior influences attitude and attitude influences

behavior.

Page 24: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

So How does it work?

• The program depends on observations.• Observations are peer on peer• Use of a pre-defined list of items to look for• Developed by employees

Page 25: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

Define Critical Behaviors

• Work Environment• Tools/Equipment• PPE• Respiratory• Burn Prevention• Personal Awareness• Body Position• Communications• Procedures• Ladders/Scaffolds/Stairs• Other

Page 26: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

Employee Education

Page 27: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

Perform Observations

Page 28: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

Collect Data

• Identify at risk behavior• Determine What is the job task• What is the at risk behavior• Why was the at risk behavior performed• What will correct the at risk behavior• What did the employee do to change the at

risk behavior to a safe behavior

Page 29: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

Types of Behavior

• Enabled– The employee being observed is in control of the behavior

and has the ability to change the at risk behavior on his own.

• Difficult– The employee is in control of the behavior most of the

time, can change the behavior but it usually takes a little more effort.

• Non-Enabled– The average employee has no control over the behavior,

relies on someone else to effect change.

Page 30: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

Soon, Certain, and Positive

• The observer starts his feedback by commending the safe behavior the worker was doing during his work. Then he explains, one-by-one, the at-risk behaviors the worker was doing. Then the observer asks the worker why he was putting himself at risk.

• They both discuss the at-risk behaviors until the worker agrees to try the suggested recommendation made by the observer.

Page 31: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

Changing Behaviors

• The discussion and agreement is the individual feedback which helps the worker to change his behavior. This feedback is considered as a form of reward since:– The worker got commendable comments on his

safe behavior. – The worker understood his at-risk behavior

without being reprimanded at site or reported to his superiors for further penalties.

Page 32: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

Data Collection

• Observation checklist are collected and entered into a database.

• Reports are generated for the Steering Committee to analyze and recommend practical solutions.

• These reports flag out trends of at-risk behaviors and in which location they are taking place.

Page 33: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

Steering Committee role

• The committee has periodical meetings to discuss and analyze BBS report findings. The committee then produces a set of recommendations to tackle workers' behaviors. Some of the recommendations would be as simple as providing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to workers in certain locations, or increase work force in another location. Some of the recommendations require site modification or costly machinery. Such recommendations are sent to top management for necessary approvals.

Daily Data Indicates What Area’s Are At Risk

Page 35: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

OSHA Incident Rate

• Incident rates are an indication of how many incidents have occurred.

• Measure only past performance or lagging indicators.• Incident rates are used to measure performance. There are many

items that can be used to measure performance, most of which are positive in nature; incident rates tend to be viewed as an indication of something that is wrong with a safety system.

• Many companies use incident rates as the primary indicator of safety performance.

• Incident rates are easily comparable between one company and another throughout industry.

Page 36: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

Observation / Incident Rate

Increased observations have a direct correlation to decreased incidents

Page 37: Randall eason eng_1105_presentation

Barrier Removal

Observations identify area’s that may attribute to an injury. With the Observation data collected, Corrective Actions can be implemented toremove the item that creates a hazard.

Barrier Removal

Behavioral Based Safety

• Simply another option to ensure employees return home at the end of their workday.
