Course Overview

Most incidents are preceded by behaviours that were tolerated long before they became harmful. This five-day course gives HSE leaders, supervisors and operations managers the methods to measure safety culture, run behaviour-based safety programmes, deliver observation and feedback that people accept, and build reinforcement and communication systems that move safety from compliance to habit.

Objectives

Explain how culture, behaviour and safety performance interact
Assess safety culture using surveys, interviews and validated models
Design and run behaviour-based safety observation programmes
Deliver feedback and positive reinforcement that change behaviour
Build safety communication and recognition systems that sustain improvement
Handle legal, ethical and privacy issues in behavioural safety data

Duration

5 Days
