Assessing Your Behavioral Safety Process (34 min)
Results from traditional Behavior-Based Safety processes can plateau after the first two to three years of operation. At
this point, the process can become routine and lose its original results-based orientation. When this occurs, the success
that motivated the process early on are quickly diminished, and the entire process tends to simply "go through the
motions" and slowly lose momentum. Don't let this happen to you. Based on ProAct Safety's extensive experience in
assessing and improving all major approaches to Behavior-Based Safety, this webinar will provide a simple structure to
internally assess your existing Behavioral Safety process.
Five Steps to a Successful Safety Observation (29 min)
Organizations will not achieve sustained excellent results in safety without a process in place that understand risk
exposure, prior to an incident or injury. To accomplish this, organization must have a coaching approach to safety and
an observation framework that guides the conversation. This webinar provides five proven steps that have been used
with great success in thousands of organizations. Whether peer to peer or supervisor to worker, it's all about being
A.W.A.R.E.
Key Process Indicators for Behavior-Based Safety (33 min)
What is most important to measure with Behavior-Based Safety processes? Is there one ideal indicator? Yes, indeed
there is and it isn't the number of observations. There are both process and results indicators in BBS and both need to
be understood and managed. But, there is a single Key Performance Indicator that allows for better management of
both the process and results of BBS.
This webinar outlines the five vital indicators of a healthy, effective and efficient BBS process. The framework provided
within has been successfully used with hundreds of processes worldwide. For the first time, in this webinar, ProAct
Safety will share this methodology.
The 10 Contributing Factors of Behavior-Based Safety Failures (32 min)
Whether you like it, love it, or have never heard of it, behavioral safety processes have created value and controversy
for thirty years. Multiple methodologies argue for a dominant position in the marketplace resulting in confusion and
strengthening an often dangerous resolve to do-it-yourself. It is hard to decipher which approaches have created suboptimized
results, or in some cases, failures. Both equally often result in substantial barriers to future attempts. With
the experience of partnering with hundreds of organizations to break past these previously established barriers, this webinar will provide insight into the ten commonly-found contributing factors of failures and enable you to ensure your
path leads to positive transformation, rather than false-starts and failures.
The Role of BBS in Safety Excellence (57 min)
Behavior-Based Safety does not replace traditional safety efforts; it supplements them and provides focus. Learn how
BBS can fit into an overarching strategy for safety excellence (STEPS to Safety Culture ExcellenceSM) and about other
initiatives that can complement and aid in accomplishing that strategy.
The 3 E's of BBS Success (57 min)
A BBS process should not be measured simply by accident reduction. Learning how to get and keep employees engaged
in the process and how to make the process produce and sustain the maximum results with the minimum of resources
are keys to success. Through case studies and audience participation, this session explores better-practices and outlines
options on how to make sure these three elements are alive and well in your BBS process.
Hidden Mistakes That Keep BBS from Producing Desired Results (51 min)
When BBS fails to produce the desired results, the reasons for the failure are not always obvious. Learn from the
experts what the hidden mistakes are and how to avoid them before they happen. This session will provide key
takeaways that include how to identify these mistakes, and options to prevent and overcome them.
Staying on Track with BBS: Measuring, Communicating & Accountability (59 min)
Most processes focus measurement, communication and accountability on only the number of observations being
completed. This is one of the most frequent errors of BBS processes. This session provides the audience with proven
tools (e.g., balanced scorecards for BBS, communication dashboards, accountability methodology) that provide focus for
communication and proactive accountability at the local and/or corporate level.
Continuous Improvement & Sustainability: New Results & Making Them Last (59 min)
Most processes, if properly focused and supported, are able to obtain significant first- and even second-year results.
The challenge then lies with keeping it fresh, finding new results and maintaining focus. The tools to start a process are
not the same as those to continuously improve it. This session explores methodologies that are sure to provide fresh
result opportunities for any process, regardless of BBS maturity.
Taking Observations to the Next Level (60 min)
Is your goal to catch risky behavior or to focus your coaching where it will provide the most value? It is time to help
observers really make a difference, not just hit target numbers and go through the motions. Furthering the observation
strategy to focus on efficiency and effectiveness, and training observers to be effective safety coaches, is key. It also
sets a great example for those in leadership.
The Misunderstood Goals of Behavior-Based Safety (60 min)
What is the purpose of BBS? What does your process focus on and, most importantly, why? BBS is a situationallyappropriate
tool to address one of the four types of safety behaviors. Learn what these are and how to convey the
rationale and value-proposition in a way people will understand and support.
BBS Best Practices & Lessons Learned: Stories from the Field (62 min)
This session will share stories from their field: the good, the bad and the ugly. These experiences directly from ProAct
Safety efforts and observations from audition successful and failed attempts other consultants have experienced
implementing BBS. This is vital to help foster an understanding of what goes right or wrong, and why. It is important to
understand not just theories, but real examples and allow the attendees to learn from the experience of others,
challenging the perception of what is possible, what works, and what doesn't.
BBS Motivation — Not Just Incentives and Rewards (60 min)
For many processes, motivating participants becomes increasingly challenging. A range of approaches can be utilized to
capture the desired level of volunteerism and discretionary effort of those involved and impacted by the process. This
session shares the latest research and better practice approach to maximize motivation, without unnecessarily adding
hidden demotivators.
Maximizing Results with Observation Data (62 min)
This session assists participants in understating the steps necessary to design a good data management action-plan
prioritization and problem-solving program in conjunction with Behavior-Based Safety efforts. BBS observations are
most definitely a great tool for the creation of a culture of safety awareness and development of a personal safety focus.
However, without a good BBS data management strategy, the process, volunteerism and motivation will most likely not
be sustainable.
Measuring BBS — The Perfect Leading Indicator for Process Health (61 min)
Zero incident programs and goals are the desires of average safety cultures, not excellently-performing ones.
Organizations that have achieved sustainability of excellent results in culture and performance define, measure and
motivate what they want, rather than what they don't. Is health the absence of visible disease? This session clearly
outlines the difference and provides a framework to achieve and measure sustainability, the biggest differentiator.
On the Horizon — What Lies Ahead for Behavioral Safety (61 min)
No one knows for sure what the future holds, but it is important to look forward and predict what BBS will look like in
the future and what role it will continue to play in safety and culture improvement. Preparing for the inevitable changes
will make your future smoother and more successful. Listen to the experts who have successfully predicted most of the
changes in BBS for the past 20+ years.
When No One's Around: A Focus on Driving and Self-Observation Tactics (63 min)
This webinar provides proven guidelines established from over 25 years of helping drivers break out of the mindset of
complacency — and reality-check their own habits, at the right time. Participants will be provided the necessary steps to
facilitate the creation of customized self-observation strategies that can be used in any driving environment and any
industry.
Unions and BBS: The 7 Deadly Sins (60 min)
There are many processes called Behavior-Based Safety or something similar, and unions oppose most of them. When
you examine union resistance to BBS, you find seven common objections. We should recognize that their concerns and
complaints are real and valid. Some approaches to BBS have caused problems, and the results have been negative for
unions and their members. But the next question should be: Is this problem the result of a flaw in the core philosophy of
BBS or is it the result of poor methodology? The fact that there have been hundreds of successful union-friendly BBS
methods at union sites suggests the latter. How did this opposition start, why is it not resolved and what can you do
about it if you want to use BBS at a union site? Explore the history, the seven key issues and a detailed plan for BBS
success that has worked at over 600 union sites.
Common Traps to Avoid (63 min)
Behavioral safety processes have created value and controversy for over thirty years. Multiple methodologies argue for
a dominant position in the marketplace resulting in confusion and strengthening an often dangerous resolve to do-ityourself.
It is hard to decipher which approaches have created sub-optimized results, or in some cases, failures. Both
equally often result in substantial barriers to future attempts. With the experience of partnering with hundreds of
organizations to break past these previously established barriers, this talk will provide insight into the common traps to
avoid and enable you to ensure your path leads to positive transformation, rather than false-starts and failures.
From Surviving to Thriving (55 min)
Any methodology that creates new results can also, as a byproduct, create a new culture. If the process doesn't keep up
with the new reality, it will almost certainly become an awkward fit. Is your BBS process simply surviving, doing all it can
to avoid failure or is it thriving, adding new value every day? This webinar explores simple and practical steps to breathe
life into any BBS methodology and even measure how precisely your process is thriving.
Finding New Results Through Efficiency and Cost-Consciousness (55 min)
After assessing sites with mixtures of all major BBS methodologies, one thing is common: lack of efficiency. This webinar
explores opportunities for significant improvements in how the process is structured, focused, data leveraged and
continuously improved. Learn how hundreds of organizations of all sizes have easily found vast opportunities to be
better cost-conscious and make their processes lean (efficient and value-focused).
Internal Implementation Considerations (58 min)
Would you purchase a vehicle with the hood welded shut? Probably not, but this analogy precisely represents how
organizations tend to invest in behavior-based safety (BBS). When a company has determined it is ready for a
behavioral approach to injury prevention, who should lead the implementations: external or internal consultants? As
experts in BBS, we believe organizations should look first at internal capabilities. After auditing and enhancing
hundreds of existing BBS processes in every major industry, one unfortunate truth cannot be refuted, organizations
that do not attempt to internalize the expertise necessary for long-term BBS success in the beginning rarely do so
later on. When the most important information to the process is largely externalized, a consultant must remain oncall,
which is not the healthiest way to lead a major improvement in any area of operations. The stickiest of culture
changes are led from within. This webinar explores internal implementation considerations that should be part of any
plan around BBS.
