 Behavior Based Safety - Observation & Intervention) Observation +Intervention =Safe Workplace 

A Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) Approach

Behavior Based Safety (BBS) is not about blaming people

it's about observing behaviors, intervening positively, and building safe habits.

Observation (What We See)

Observation means watching how work is actually done at site

to identify safe and unsafe behaviors in real time.

Examples:

Proper use of PPE

Correct lifting techniques

Following LOTO / permit system

Safe posture and body mechanics

+ Observation helps us identify risks before accidents happen.

Intervention (What We Do)

Intervention means speaking up at the right time, in the right way

to prevent unsafe behavior from turning into an incident.

Examples:

Friendly reminder to wear PPE

Correcting unsafe shortcuts

Guiding workers on safer methods

Appreciating safe behavior

Good intervention is positive, respectful, and corrective not punitive.

How BBS Really Works

Observation

Intervention

Behavior Change

Accident Prevention

When done consistently, BBS:

Reduces injuries and near-misses

Builds open communication

Improves safety culture

Empowers everyone to take responsibility

Final Thought

"BBS is not about fault finding

it's about caring enough to observe and intervene."

A safe workplace is created when everyone watches out for each other.
