I have in front of me a job description whichh as usual has numerous abbreviations included. I am aware of many of them, however, there is one paragraph that uses the abbreviations BBS, RCA and IPPC Improvements the context of the paragraph relates to programmes in place. Can one of you kind ladies or gents enlighten me on what the abbreviations mean.
Thank you in anticipation, I have to leave for an inteview at around 12 noon tomorrow (Monday 13th) so answers urgently required.

BBS could be Behavioural Based Safety
IPPC should be Intergrated Pollution Prevention Control
RCA ?

Good luck
