May I suggest this site (and the free pdf download available there) as a starting point for you? http://books.hse.gov.uk/...alogueCode=9780717624522

Olu You might want to look at the following article as well: http://www.hse.gov.uk/hu...s/behavioural-safety.htm Also in his book 'Behavioural Safety: A Framework for Success' published in 2009 Dominic Cooper - a renowned behavioural safety expert - states: 'The major underlying reason that 99% of all Behavioral Safety processes fail is a loss of credibility.' Good luck. Nigel

The major reason for the loss of credibility being the lack of Senior management support Bob

The critical success factors for 'behavioural safety' are similar to those of any other interventiion, namely fitness for purpose. Where behavioural safety interventions don't fit the conditions of an organisation, it follows as night follows day that the outcomes fit the actual conditions. Other kinds of psychological interventioins, such as those based on research on social identity, are available to improve safety practice by fitting the actual contours of behaviour; yet safety practitioners and, more critically, editors of safety publications are apparently unwilling or uanble to give them due attenition, at least in the British Isles.

Olu, We have always found a good fit between behavioural safety and manufacturing ; vehicle construction, automotive parts, metals mining and refining, plastics conversion, pharmaceuticals and aeronautique construction (last two are current) Where there are work teams with clear supervision/management lines and responsibilities, doing fairly routine or easily defined work then important or even critical behaviours can be identified fairly easily, observed and measured for each group. After that it's just a question of goal setting and follow-through by the teams and management. AND the identification/rewarding of progress and success. Et voila ! Easypeasy Merv
