Yesterday, we introduced a review of behavior-based safety by guest writer and safety consultant Shawn Galloway. Today, we conclude with 10 questions designed to help achieve a risk-free outcome with a behavior-based safety process.
The 10 questions below have been specifically designed to facilitate collaborative discussions and find a unique pathway towards the necessary results orientation.
1. What percentage of the population can name the precautions of focus?
2. What percentage of the population can name three successes over the past ninety days?
3. What triggers activity (observations, meetings, communication) in the process?
4. Is the focus just on the behavior or also on the reason for the behavior?
5. How many people have asked to either be observed or be a part of the process?
6. Does the process conflict and compete with operations, or integrate and positively influence it?
Great news! BLR’s renowned Safety.BLR.com® website now has even more timesaving features. Take our no-cost site tour! Or better yet, try it at no cost or obligation for a full 2 weeks.
7. What percentage of the expertise is internalized or externalized?
8. Does everyone at the site, regardless of role, understand their responsibilities and what is expected?
9. If focus was placed on addressing one influence on risk in your organization, what would it be?
10. How does the BBS process influence off-the-job safety?
Every year at ProAct Safety’s annual BBS conference, hundreds of attendees prove that the more efficient a behavioral process is, the more effective it will be.
The late Peter Drucker once wrote, “There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.”
Efficiency is vital, but pointless if misfocused. Answering the questions above will help organizations focus efficiently and effectively on the thing that matters most: a risk-free outcome.
