An excerpt from ISNetworld® RAVS®* Safety plan Behavior Based Safety Program
Program Overview
A quick review of many corporate construction records, as well as data collected and reported by regulatory agencies, clearly indicates that the success or failure in managing construction performance is judged through use of indicators such as, number of regulatory or permit violations, number of spills or incidents, and the cost of fines/penalties assessed or paid. All of these being “lagging” or more simply a record of the incident after it has occurred. While these certainly indicate how well a company has performed - or more accurately not performed - it typically provides little information on how to best manage future actions in preventing the next construction incident.
One of the keys to prevention is managing the human behaviors and actions that result in construction incidents. Often these behaviors are not adequately identified and explored even when performing incident root cause analyses. There is ample anecdotal evidence to suggest that human behaviors whether positive or negative are the true root causes of the majority of incidents. If these behaviors and their associated actions (or inactions) can be identified, measured, and controlled it may be possible to proactively manage the follow-on work processes and prevent future construction incidents before they occur.
One of the often overlooked keys to preventing construction incidents is managing the human behaviors and actions that contribute to the probability and severity of an incident. The construction industry has utilized behavior based safety practices for many years to assess safe behaviors and prevent accidents from occurring. In some ways, behavior based safety has always included construction aspects that are intertwined with safety, specifically when they include use of hazardous materials and general good housekeeping practices. However, other behaviors that could lead to non-compliant construction practices are typically not included in such safety observation programs.
