WHAT IS BEHAVIOR - BASED SAFETY?

Behavior-based safety is a safety management


system that specifies exactly which behaviors are
required from each employee. These behaviors are
geared toward a safer work environment. The
system must have controls in place which will
measure whether or not these behaviors exist as a
routine element in the work environment.
Acceptable behaviors must be positively reinforced
frequently and immediately as the behavior occurs.

Increases the Likelihood That the Behavior It
Follows Will Occur in the Future. In Other Words,
If You Promote a Behavior and Make Someone

Occurrence in the Future Will Likely Increase.

ATTITUDE

MOTIVATION CHANGES ATTITUDE


AND
ATTITUDE DRIVES BEHAVIOR

When a Persons Attitude Changes, His or Her


Behavior Will Typically Follow. Assuming He or
She Has Adequate Knowledge of the Safe Working
Conditions in the Work Environment. When You
Eliminate Every Other Reason for Unacceptable
Behavior, What Is Left It Attitudinal.

Edited by J. Satti for RGX Project BEHAVIOR - SLIDE 47 OF 72


ATTITUDE IS IMPORTANT

SAFETY AS PART OF THE WORK ENVIRONMENT

If a Person Understands That His or Her Safety at


Work is Controllable in a Measurable Way,
Acceptance of Safety as an Essential Part of the
Work Environment Will Be Increased. Safe
Attitudes and Behaviors Will Naturally Follow.

AND!

ATTITUDE IS IMPORTANT
Continued

SAFETY AND PEER SUPPORT

Once Safe Attitudes are a Normal Element in the


Work Environment, Behavior Will Be Influenced.
Then, Peers and Coworkers Expect Each Other To
Practice Safety as a Part of Work and Not a
Requirement of Work.

At This Point Coworkers Will Expect Each Other’s


Protection and Accident Rates Will Decrease.

Management Is Responsible to Promote Safety.


Everyone is Responsible For Sustaining a Safe
Work Environment. Attitude Is the Key To
Sustaining a Safe Work Environment.

GOOD ATTITUDE IS PREVENTION

“It is estimated that, 97% of the money spent for


medical care is directed toward treatment of an
illness, injury or disability. Only 3% is spent on
prevention.” Good Attitude = A Healthier
Workforce.

THE HUMAN FACTOR

NO ONE IS AS AN AVERAGE PERSON

Rules, Policies, Schedules, Jobs Etc., Must


Accommodate The Majority.
 Focus on The Individual - Try To Please Everyone.

 Good Behavior Can Be Enhanced By Accommodating


The Majority. Please As Many People As Is Practical.
 Bad Behavior Should Be Studied To Determine
Causation.

TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS

WHAT IS TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS?

Transactional Analysis or TA Was Originated by


Eric Berne (Games People Play, New York: Grove
Press, Inc., 1964). TA Assumes That Each of Us
Reside in a Particular Mental (Ego) State at All
Times. These States Are:

1. Parent 2. Adult 3. Child

Edited by J. Satti for RGX Project BEHAVIOR - SLIDE 55 OF 72


TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS
Continued

WHY IS TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS IMPORTANT?

TA Is Important Because When You Are


Interacting With Co-Workers You Can Quickly
Recognize Which Ego State They Are Operating in
and Then You Can Adjust Your Behavior With the
Individual Accordingly. This Will Optimize Your
Interaction and Keep the Work Environment
Professional and Safe.

1. Parent 2. Adult 3. Child

TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS

STIMULUS VERSES RESPONSE

Effective Use of TA Requires That You Understand


the Meaning of “Stimulus” and “Response”.
 Stimulus: What Is Said or Done to Initiate a Response.

 Response: Behavior As a Result of Stimulus.

Note: All of us interact this way every day.

 Response (WORKER): I Know What I’m Doing, I Was


Working Here When You Were Still in Grade School!

Note: Completely Ineffective Transaction. Transaction


is Crossed. Each Person Assumes A “Parental” State
and Speaks to The Other Persons “Child”.

A WORD OF CAUTION

You Can’t Influence Employee Behavior If Contact Is


Too Infrequent or Limited. Reinforcement Must
Happen Frequently. If Acceptable Behavior Is Not
Reinforced As It Happens, and If Corrective
Instruction Is Not Direct and Specific, Behavior May
Not Be Changed.
Also, Responsibility for Safety Is in No Way Shifted
Entirely From Management to the Employee. Safety
Is Still the Shared Responsibility Between
Management and All Other Company Employees.

Edited by J. Satti for RGX Project BEHAVIOR - SLIDE 71 OF 72


WORK AT WORKING SAFELY

Training is the key to success in managing safety in the


work environment. Attitude is also a key factor in
maintaining a safe workplace. Safety is, and always will
be a team effort, safety starts with each individual
employee and concludes with everyone leaving at the
end of the day to rejoin their families.
