What is it?
Behaviour Based Safety (BBS) is a methodology based on the scientific laws of human behaviour. BBS allows to drastically reduce the number of accidents in a measurable way, trough the observation and reinforcement of workers’ safe behaviours.
Any safety behaviour can be put under control acting on the root "causes" of the safe/unsafe behaviours and manipulating their contingencies. Verbal and even emotional behaviours can be considered, developing the organization’s safety values and culture.
This is the reason why this protocol is also called the Values Based Safety Process (VBSP).
