Why we do need BBS and SA

PAGE 6

BBS touches the root cause of accidents .Unsafe behaviors are at the
core of any near misses, injury , accidents. If we control unsafe behaviors , we may not even have near miss and vetting observations

The SBC model is based on asking what is an Situational

and Consequence

, Behavior

An Situation

is something that exists or happens before a behavior is performed. A trigger. controlled

A BEHAVIOUR is an observable act. What can be observed can be A CONSEQUENCE is what results from a behavior

Consequence Qualities
All consequences can be broken down and found to consist of the following qualities: Timing sooner or later Consistency certain or uncertain Significance positive or negative Perception of consequences influences the Behavior . If every one takes action after consequence it is reactive. But if we observe and give feedback and recify then it become pro active for the future

Paradox of safety /Human element

PAGE 10

Further, most unsafe behaviors can be rewarding. For exampleBeing praised for taking a short cut to finish a job quickly Getting home quicker! The Paradox of Safety states, Most safe behaviors are punishing. For example. Discomfort wearing a respirator or safety goggles/safety helmet Extra time taken to get the correct tool Having to complete forms such as a hot work permit, etc., before starting a job

The Behavior-Based Process DECIDEDecide a time you are going to observe a person at Work STOPStop within 5 feet of the person OBSERVEObserve the person to see if they are following established
procedures Are they working safely and is the work station conducive to a safe work environment?

Situational Awareness

PAGE 13

Why SA Investigations across various industry have shown that 60-85% of the human error was due to problems with situation Awareness. Studies of accidents in maritime operations support the notion that loss of situational awareness plays a significant role in incidents attributed to human error SA Knowing what is going on around you

LEVEL 1 SA Looking and Perceiving

PAGE 15

Level 1 SA looking and Perceiving What do we see when we look? Do we see what is out there in the world, or do we see only what we expect to see? The answer is that we do see what is in our environment, but we tend to see more of what we expect to see. In short, what we see depends to some extent on what we already know. Because looking for information in the situation depends on knowledge you already have about what you are looking for, Learning to improve your SA can therefore only occur if you are also widening your knowledge of ISM/TMSA and various simulators

PAGE 18

Level 3 SA anticipation The next step, that is only possible when the first two processes are working, is to anticipate what is going to happen in time and space . Anticipation is how we begin to see accidents before they happen and make good decisions in order to carry out defensive actions
