BEHAVIOURAL SAFETY TRAINING Programmes for Managers
(Tailored to your business and delivered on location)
What is meant by behavioural safety?
Research has shown that up to 80% of work-related accidents are caused by employees' behaviour. Behavioural safety is the name given to several types of programmes that aim to improve an organisation’s safety culture by changing the behaviour of workers. It is also called 'behavioural modification' or 'behaviour-based safety'.
What is the Behavioural Safety course?
Understanding errors, whether violations, mistakes or lapses and how they combine with other workplace factors is key to improving health and safety management. This two-day course will provide delegates with practical guidance on instigating a sustainable change in workplace behaviour.
Why is behavioural safety important?
When implemented correctly, a behaviour-based safety program can provide positive rewards to change unsafe behaviour, reduce job-related injuries, minimise lost production hours and improve workplace morale.
Near Reporting Systems
Just because the incident didn't result in a loss, illness or damage doesn't mean it should go unnoticed. Near misses represent the perfect time to improve and prevent incidents from becoming catastrophic accidents.
When developing a near miss program, its imperative leadership establishes a reporting culture that reinforces opportunities for identifying risks, controlling hazards, reducing risks, and preventing harmful incidents.
It's vital to the success of your near miss program it remains:
-
Non-punitive, which means there are no repercussions for reporting near misses
-
Anonymous if the individual reporting desires so
-
Strictly investigative to identify the weakness in the system and root cause that lead to the near miss
All information gathered from the investigation should be used to improve risk reduction, hazard control, and safety systems. Each near miss represents the optimum opportunity for performance feedback training, and the rigorous drive toward continuous improvement. By implementing an effective near miss program, you increase the likelihood of preventing fatal, serious, and catastrophic incidents, which are less frequent, but exponentially more harmful than other incidents.
At HSAW, we develop a tailored programme to suit your business and support through-out the implementation period.
