Behavior Based Safety
Behavior-based safety is a phrase that describes the ability of an employee to choose a safe behavior over an unsafe one while carrying out his duties. Many accidents in the workplace can be avoided if employees take adequate measures as and when due such as wearing their heat resistant gloves. Behavior-based safety is a principle guided by correct behavioral decisions taken at an appropriate time. There are three basic safety variables which when combined can adequately eliminate accidents in the workplace. These variables are; the person, their environment and their behavior. The person component depends on the capabilities of the employee to carry out his duties in an efficient manner devoid of errors. It includes the employee’s physical abilities, training and experience in what he does. The environment component consists of all engineering controls and equipment put it place to ensure a safe working environment. It also includes job task and work culture employed in the workplace to ensure safety. The third variable, behavior which is often taken for granted is what an employee does and the decisions he makes in the course of carrying out his duties.
