So what is behavioural safety?
Behavioural safety can mean many things to different people. For us
behavioural safety can perhaps best be described by listing just some of
the behaviours that the programme is meant to instil;
•
Employees wearing hearing protection without a single manager in
sight.
•
Employees looking out for each other.
•
Line managers taking their legal responsibilities seriously
•
Managers talking constructively about safety with workers
•
Managers of all levels seen to be setting a good example
To achieve some of the above behaviours it is likely that the culture will
have to evolve – and that takes time, often 2-3 years, but we have seen
some significant changes even within days of a training session from the
most unlikely of people!
