👁️ Behaviour-Based Safety (BBS)

A practical, no-blame approach that observes and reinforces safe behaviour — the ABC model, the observation cycle, the % Safe leading metric, the accident triangle and how BBS builds a mature safety culture aligned with ISO 45001. The course is organized into 7 modules, ending with a final exam (pass mark 80%). It is free awareness-level training designed for anyone who needs a practical, working understanding of the topic.

What you'll learn

• What is BBS?
• The ABC model
• The observation cycle
• The % Safe metric & leading indicators
• The accident triangle & safety culture
• Giving feedback & coaching
• Implementing & sustaining a BBS programme

Learning objectives

• Define behaviour-based safety (BBS) and explain why most incidents trace back to at-risk behaviour
• Apply the ABC (Antecedent-Behaviour-Consequence) model and the Soon-Certain-Positive rule to understand and change behaviour
• Plan and run the observe → feedback → record → act observation cycle with a critical-behaviour checklist
• Calculate the % Safe behaviour metric, distinguish leading from lagging indicators and read the trend
• Interpret the Bird/Heinrich accident triangle and use near-miss and at-risk data at the base
• Give positive, non-blaming, coaching-style feedback that keeps reporting honest
• Implement and sustain a BBS programme and link it to ISO 45001 clauses 5.1, 5.4 and 10.3
