Hi all
I looking at a way of using a behavioral safety technique to look at why someone would not follow the control measures stated in a risk assessment before the risk assessment controls have been implemented rather than 6 months down the line and wonder why barriers are never used (for example).
I'm hoping the method would highlight the pit falls (no pun intended) and help to put in place more employee friendly controls that are more likely to be used rather than the 'it says so in the risk assessment so do it or we will sack you' approach.
Has anyone tried or seen this approach? I appreciate it would create a lot more work but would hopefully generate some huge benefits.

In summary - A methodology I use for safety critical tasks within a an upper tier COAMH facility, is Predictive Human Error Analysis (PHEA). The process uses a similar principles to HAZOP, although the guide words are human orientated i.e. Action, Selection, Communication etc.....Once this is determined you are then trying to determine the types of performance influencing or shaping factors which would increase the likelihood of the individual not performing as desired.

I am a strong advocate for task and error analysis (such as PHEA). However, I would argue that is a 'systems' based approach to human factors and not a 'behavioural safety technique.'
I have to say I don't really understand the question. Risk assessment is a management tool that (amongst other things) proposes risk controls. You then need systems to implement the controls. (Please note I said "management" and not "managers'")

Essentially, it’s a “human factors” pass at the hazard controls, trying to anticipate failure points, and why the failures are likely, then trying to take actions to prevent them which as Kate as said is along the line of error analysis that HSE like to see at COMAH sites.
I'm just wondering if this is something someone has tried for non COMAH sites and what was the effectiveness.

OK, that makes sense. And yes, task and error analysis has been applied in many different industries to address many different hazards/concerns. I used it very successfully with a client of mine who was very interested in quality assurance because their product was being used in a medical setting.
Search Youtube for "human error analysis hea"
