Please think . . .
How many of the above elements can be directly traced to injury elimination just at the moment the injury is about to occur ?
Question: Are injuries totally eliminated?
4
Injury Statistics . . .
14 people die at work in US everyday 11,000 people suffer from disabling injury everyday
Question: Are injuries totally eliminated?
5
Injury Statistics . . . Year 2004 in US*
•5200 workplace fatalities •3.8
fatalities per 100,000 workers •3.9
million people suffer disabling injuries •6.1
injuries or illnesses per 100 workers
Question: Are injuries totally eliminated?
6
Injury Statistics . . . In INDIA
•124 people die at workplace everyday •46575 people are injured •32% contribution to global fatality at work •37% of global burden of occupational injury
Question: Are injuries totally eliminated?
7
To Conclude . . .
•Good Safety Management systems exist •Still workplace is injury prone & not safe •Injury although declined, still persists
WHAT IS MISSING? WHERE IS THE CATCH?
8
Scientifically proven that . . .
In 1951, Dr. Heinrich claimed that
more than 90% of injuries were caused by UNSAFE ACTS
DuPont proved by research that:
Injury Causes
Injuries due to Unsafe Acts / Behavior Injuries due to combination of Unsafe Behavior & Conditions Injuries due Unsafe Conditions
Percent
76 20 4
9
DOE, US Govt. found out that . . .
Pe rce nt by Cause (1999-2001) 100 80 60 40 20 0 Equ ipm ent Proc edu re Pers onn Des el E ign rror Train ing Man age Oth men t ers
Personnel errors (Unsafe Acts) was present in 77% of incidents
10
DuPont Research found that . . .
Avoid 1 Fatal 30 LTAs 300 Non LTAs 3,000 Near Miss / First Aid 30,000 Hazards (Unsafe Acts & Conditions) Eliminate 11
To Conclude . . .
Eliminate Unsafe Acts / Conditions = Avoid Injuries & Accidents Safety Activities Fewer Unsafe Acts Fewer Accidents 12
Unsafe Acts & Objectives of BBS
1. Unsafe Acts is a behavioral process 2. Also defined as “at risk” behavior
Objective of BBS is to minimize “at risk” behavior at workplace 13
Principles of BBS
Behavior is the cause of accidents Consequence motivate behavior What gets measured, gets done Feedback is essential to improvement Quality is built early in the process Conversations change organizations
14
Behavioral Safety Management
PPE Procedures Emergency Response in the workplace.
Safety Rules Policies Incident Investigation Safety Management System Features Training Industrial Hygiene Hazard Recognition Fire Protection Engineering Ergonomics Not integrated with other elements Safety Surveys OSHA Standards Safety Incentives Behavioral Safety Job Safety Analysis JSO 15
Behavioral Safety Management
To be effective: – Integrate the fundamental elements 1 of BBS into the Safety Management System elements – How?
• Identify (pinpoint) critical behaviors • Define behaviors precisely to measure them reliably • Implement mechanisms to determine current status • Provide feedback • Reinforce progress 16
What is Behavior?
Behavior is anything that a person says, does, thinks or feels
Eg: Working at heights with safety belts
Behavior should be observable, specific
17
What is Antecedent ?
Anything that occurs before or during the behavior can be an antecedent for that behavior B: Working at heights with safety belts A: Painful Memory of past accident It is Antecedents that cause a certain types of behavior to happen
18
What is Consequence ?
Anything that occurs after a behavior B: Working at heights with safety belts A: Painful Memory of past accident C: No more accidents
19
The ABC of BBS Program
A: Antecedents –
cause
of certain behavior B: Behavior – what you
see
a person do C: Consequence –
outcome
of a behavior
20
What is BBS Program?
Understand & Influence Antecedents Make people behave safely, work safely Minimize / eliminate workplace injuries
This is Zero Injury Culture too . . .
21
BBS vs. Zero Injury
Zero Injury is the
GOAL
BBS is the
path
to reach the GOAL
22
How to Implement BBS ?
7 Steps Process 1. Identify Unsafe Acts in all your operations. Make a list of safe acts for these unsafe acts.
2. Audit Unsafe Acts & Conditions. Report 3. Measure no. of safe / unsafe acts. Know your scores 4. Set Improvement Goals. Identify actions to achieve the goals. Implement Actions
23
How to Implement BBS ?
7 Steps Process 5. Monitor actions implementation & trends of Unsafe Acts & conditions 6. Continually improve performance 7. Recognize performers & celebrate achievement
24
Q: Why focus on behavior?
Reactive
Serious Injuries Non Serious Injuries Near Misses At-Risk Behaviors
Proactive
Systems’ Weaknesses A: It’s the best way of measuring how well your system is working!
25
Recall . . .
Safety Activities Fewer Unsafe Acts Fewer Accidents 26
What do we do now?
Safety Activities BBS Program + Traditional Model Fewer Unsafe Acts Fewer Accidents 27
Primary Team Roles
Management
Lead by example
Support the process
Remove roadblocks Monitor success Provide resources 28
Basic Elements of BBS
Identify/define targeted safe behaviors.
Observe behaviors.
Measure process/activities.
Deliver feedback.
Deliver positive consequences.
Analyze variance/take action.
Improve process continuously. 29
The Behavioral Process
RESULTS CRITICAL SAFE & PROCESS SUPPORT BEHAVIORS PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT PERFORMANCE VERBAL & GRAPHIC ON PERFORMANCE 32
If BBS has to Succeed then . . .
Top Management Commitment is essential Ownership & involvement from all employees Steering Committee to monitor in plants Training to all on BBS & safety practices Effective Feedback –
Most important
Performance monitoring & Continual improvement
34
Safe Behavior
Is safe behavior an
occupational necessity?
Is safety only at work place?
Don’t I want my son to drive safely & reach home every day?
Can safe behavior be a
philosophy of life?
Safe Behavior = Safety Assurance 35
Thank you
