Behaviour Based Safety

Observation or Empowerment is not the primary base of BBS

“Brass Gun”

Behaviour Based Safety (BBS)

Implementation Program

Introduction to HSE-RM Solution BBS Approach to Implementation:

Safety is often the starting point for positive-change initiatives within organizations. Planning and managing change is a strategic advantage if successfully executed. If not, however, a downward spiral of negative expectations can eventually paralyze any willingness to confront change. Therefore, in addition to being an important area for positive change, a safety initiative's success or failure may foreshadow the success or failure of future change efforts.

Brass Gun BBS Implementation program is the personally tailored dedicated program with our advisors accessing a range of service visits may it be construction safety, contractor safety, project management, or existing HSE framework consulting and training all moulded in one.

Benefits of Brass Gun BBS Implementation Program (up to 1000 Personals)

Trepidation Way out (Stage 1)

0-30 Days (1 Gap Assessment and 2 Consciousness session) Bringing out all fears.

Core: Understanding core ground realities of the HSE system of your organization. Detailed gap assessment. Road Mapping core challenges and present-day evaluation of practices.

o   “Most behaviour based safety programs are fundamentally outdated and erroneous theories repackaged for modern marketing. Behaviour based safety programs claim to eliminate workplace injuries and improve relationships between supervisors and workers. These safety programs set up elaborate mechanisms to observe, coach, reward, and discipline workers. Behaviour based safety programs appeal to many companies because they make health and safety seem simple, do not require management change, focus on workers, and seem cheaper than correcting hazards. However, these programs ignore the most appropriate methods for eliminating health and safety hazards.”

“Observation or Empowerment is not the primary base of BBS”

The Major objective of an effective behavior based safety process is to make safe behavior a Habit. Unsafe behavior is something which they have done for so long that they are not conscious of the behavior. The major objective of BBS is to replace all the unconscious unsafe behavior with safe behavior or habits. Applying behavior change technology effectively.

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a scientific discipline concerned with analyzing the principles of learning and behavioral control, developing usable methods from these principles, and systematically applying these methods to change behavior of social significance. It is the applied form of behavior analysis; the other two forms are radical behaviorism (or the philosophy of the science) and the experimental analysis of behavior (or experimental research).

Kernel (Stage 2)

15-20 days (Risk Assessment, Review of Present Practices & Evaluations) based on priority and stage 1.

ü  Kernel: Understanding the seed, of existing system and current practices, reporting practices how data is collected what information has it grown or will grow.

o   Resource identification stage for updating existing system and critical operation

o   Adopting best practices and evaluating each process job knowledge, system knowledge & Best practices.

Consciousness Sessions

Consciousness sessions are presentations of up to 2 hours in length delivered at your workplace by HSE-RM Solution advisors. They are designed to help meet your legal duty to provide information about workplace hazards to employees. These modules are modified as group discussion session and interactive sessions on how best practices are to be adopted.

Sapling (Stage 3)

After 3 months’ engagement of BBS will be purely on training and evaluation base.

ü  Sapling: Evolving plant of HSE in organization its effectiveness, systems, personals, machinery and process safety provisions and its adequacy.

ü  Calendared area of engagement on topics and measure of service action implementation with evaluation program every month.

 “Safe Guard the Work Area”

[Spot Danger in Work Area Inspect for Unsafe Conditions, Take Action]

“Safe Guard the Work Method”

[Spot Danger in Day-To-Day Job Take Action]

“Safe Guard the Worker”

[Check Knowledge on Safety Instruction Guide & Train Them]

Forerunner	Behaviour	Consequence
An inducement or event that occurs before a behaviour in time. This inducement or event may result in the behaviour. Work	Anything that we can see an individual action do or say.	An inducement or event that occurs after a behaviour in time. The consequence could increase or decrease behaviour in the future, depending on its properties of impetus.

Aftermath (BBS Continuously evolving)

After 1 year of engagement 4-5 man days each month

ü  Aftermath: An effective outcome of implementation and revised the sustainable and continuously improving program.

A design team is created

The most effective way to run a BBS programme is to initially set up a design team. The design team should consist of management and frontline employees, and each member of the team should have heard about BBS and volunteer to be on the team. This team will keep on evolving the BBS system; however, all employees will be involved in implementation.

Program is customized to suit your company requirement. A dedicated resource assistance engagement will define the depth of program and company engagement. Ranging from weekly, fortnight and monthly visits and scheduled priority as per program detailed gap assessment we help you build adaptive, proactive, predictive HSE system.

Risk Assessment

Qualitative Risk Assessment

How Risk Is Appraised?

In the estimation of risks, qualitative risk assessment is beneficial for any organization or institution as it delivers real-time benefits by prevention through a third eye, in simple few steps awareness and proactive thinking can reduce risks, employers can prevent incident break out.

 Every organization has an existing framework of conducting the risk assessment of the project and reviewing of the safety plan, is this plan continuously updating? are its adequacy and efficiency checks done on regular basis? you need to redo the assessment to ensure your provisions are in line with the new legislation & continuously evolving process plant. In addition, every time your business changes in terms of premises, business activity or process even staff, you should undertake a revision of the assessment.

Approach Summary

Our friendly advisory support & safety experts will help you to understand and comply with all the legal requirements, along with all other relevant national and international latest emerging legislation. Qualitative risk assessment is all about simplifying understanding of risk and hazard to ensure continuous engagement of stakeholders for efficient and establishing evolving sustainable work practice.

Risk assessment requires you to examine both your premises and your work practice to assess the risk they pose, it is an opportunity to examine how your business could be improved as in the important exercise of reducing or eliminating risk. Risk assessment gives an insight, that you may discover underused parts of your premises or work practice that can be reviewed, not only to ensure the safety of your staff but also potentially improve productivity too.

Why Risk Assessment?

A detailed risk assessment for both your premises and business practice is required to draw up safety policies and procedures best suited. It’s important to explore modern means of protection system in the industry making our processes, premises, operations, and workforce safer. Is detection system adequate, does the detection system positioned correctly, some very basic system sometimes give more proactive protection, each facility quantity and quantum of risk differ?

Like any risk assessment, the qualitative assessment begins with obtaining information on risk factors, followed by risk classification in terms like "acceptable" or "unacceptable" or classifications such as "low", "medium", "high". Once seen as a risk for assets with a high risk will take mitigation measures. These measures are based on a hierarchy of business activities and their associated risks.

The qualitative assessment does not require determining the likelihood of data, only estimates of potential losses. Some related items are discussed in this approach.

• Threats - what can go wrong or attack the system such as fires or fraud. They are present in any system.
• Vulnerabilities - make the system more prone to attacks or the attacks may have more success and greater impact. For example, if fire, the presence of flammable materials is a vulnerability.
• Controls - are counter-measures vulnerabilities and their effects may be manifested in the following forms:
• Preventive controls protect against vulnerabilities and attacks can cause failure or reduce their impact;
• Corrective controls reduce the effect of attacks;
• Detective controls discover attacks and trigger preventative or corrective controls. 

After identification, the risks can be grouped by importance and likely to occur and represented in a matrix.

Organizing Risk in Two Criterial

1. Level of Risk
2. Degree of Probability

Risk assessment involves: 

• Looking for the hazards;
• Deciding who might be harmed and how;
• Evaluating the risks and deciding whether the existing precautions are adequate or whether more should be done;
• Recording your findings and telling your employees about them; and
• Reviewing your assessment and revising it if necessary, for example:
• If the work changes significantly;
• If there is an accident; or
• When someone returns to work after sickness or injury, or suffers a change in their health, that could affect or be affected by their work.
