As Lawlee says, tell us what BBS is and you might get more help

I rather think you are referring to the DWP Jobcentre + process that was based around my Adaptation of the Total Australia Take 5 process together with the Incident Report Card Scheme. There have been many of these and I have found that they have indeed morphed into very bureaucratic schemes when they were originally intended to get employees to consider the safety aspects of the task both before and while they were undertaking the work - effectively a dynamic risk assessment process. The ICs then served as a simple method of informing management about situations, risks, difficulties and changes that have developed within the task. Supervision was then required to feed back on their actions.

At the end of the day the intention is to create greater involvement and a sense of interdependence within the process of assessing and managing risk. BBS as it stood seemed to end up as a routine supervisory task.

This use of carding was one of the things I desperately wanted to avoid as many derived processes have concentrated on this aspect, hence it was down to a nominated supervisor to assess and make initial response to an Incident Card. I expected a half decent root cause analysis if an employee was to be "carded" in any way.

most things that start with good intentions end up being hijacked along the way and this may be one of them

I worked with doctors of Human Factors years ago who all maintained that management needed to take on responsibility noting that cultural change is a long constant process and is not easy to achieve but such approaches were not to business liking so things were turned into data gathering exercises which benefitted nobody really but it looked good for the stats!

I recently evaluated a companies management system who included such things and they were proud of their achievements however they have also received >£800K of fines etc. at the same time whilst having such systems in place!?

That said if a company does behavioural safety analysis properly which is backed up by a proper system then such things can be very beneficial

BP was at that time an organisation in flux as the leader, Lord Brown, had stood down and the drive to hold things together faltered. This allowed the US arm to drift away to a degree and messages were lost. It is a splendid example of policy drift and of change management control failure. It does show the need for continuous and ongoing management input.
