This session is designed to be an introduction to the rationale and practice of BBS for newcomers and a thorough review for participants at the workforce level who have already implemented a BBS process.

Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) 101 for Management

This session covers the same basic concepts as the "BBS 101TM for Workers" course but from a management and supervisory perspective. The support roles in BBS are less active than the participants' roles, yet more critical for success and sustainability. In addition to understanding what BBS is and how it works, managers and supervisors need to know the rationale for having a process and the strategies for ensuring that it is successful. The course will cover these facets and will include the following:

  • The rationale and ROI (return on investment) of BBS
  • Selection criteria for Steering Team/Committee members
  • Time-away-from-work requirements of Steering Team members and Observers
  • Key roles, responsibilities, and expectations (RREs) of those participating in the process
  • Start-up cycles for BBS from implementation to maturity
  • Support and resources needed by the process to ensure success
  • How to involve unions for support
  • How to communicate BBS to the workforce
  • How to utilize BBS as a safety culture building tool
  • How to posture BBS in relation to other safety efforts and programs
  • How to pump new life into an existing BBS process

Attendees will be thoroughly versed on the basics of BBS to either return to a project or attend the Annual BBS Conference with purpose and focus.
