Culturally Tailored Behavior Based Safety By: David W. Velmosky Every employer wants to maintain workplace safety. However, too often, employers think they need to hire expensive outside help to create and sustain safety. David W. Velmosky knows this isn’t true and in Culturally Tailored Behavior Based Safety, he outlines how to create a worker consensus-based safety design that is effective for your facility. Culturally Tailored Behavior Based Safety is a method that uses input from employees at all levels. Your workplace, your employees, are unique – your workplace safety must be unique as well. Thorough research of each individual facility’s culture will give you insight on what the safety solutions are. Corporate leadership needs to develop a democratic approach with facility leadership and workers. When workers feel like they own the safety of their facility and it fully reflects their culture, they will be more engaged in safety. By keeping an open mind and using a positive, cooperative problem solving team approach, your facility can not only decrease but eliminate workplace accidents. Velmosky stresses flexibility and common sense to create a safety blueprint. Real life examples will encourage you to implement targeted safety procedures. Culturally Tailored Behavior Based Safety provides detailed instructions on how to design, communicate, and implement a safety program that will work for your facility. Workplace accidents are not acceptable nor are they inevitable. This book is a must-read for human resources, safety officials, union officials, and everyone working to create a safe and effective work environment. A safety-strong culture creates a productive and welcoming environment for all employees.

In 2001, ProAct Safety introduced Lean BBS(R) as a major update to traditional behavior-based safety (BBS) models with a focus on providing new value with more efficient, safer work. Simply put, Lean BBS focuses on adding value to employees rather than trying to control them. Lean BBS addresses the four major issues found within the average behavior-based safety process: 1.BBS provides successful results for many organizations, but they are looking for a way to take the process to the next level. The Lean BBS methodology takes them there. 2.Some are adamantly against BBS for a number of reasons (union resistance, questionable implementations, cookie-cutter and inflexible approaches, etc.). Lean BBS gains bargaining unit support, is fit-for-purpose and customized to the realities of each organization. 3.Organizations with vastly different processes from site to site want to bring uniformity across the company. Simply changing from one methodology to another is not appealing nor rational. Implementing a more efficient Lean BBS model was both appealing and a rational solution to encourage the processes to evolve towards value-add. 4.Some hesitate to pursue BBS due to high costs and demand on internal resources to operate the process. Lean BBS provides an alternative that addresses these concerns due to the hyper focus on efficiency and ensuring value-add. While several version of BBS have been around since the 1980s, few of them have truly adapted to the changing environment in which they must operate. The Lean BBS process has not only evolved, but continues to do so with each customized implementation. Making BBS fit your culture, operations and logistical realities, rather than trying to make your company fit some idealistic model, is a key to success in today's realities. From the authors of bestselling books on the future of safety excellence, safety strategy, culture and leadership, explore how to put the principles of Lean BBS to work in your operations. Discover the new realities of behavior-based safety.

Twenty-five safety awareness surveys of organizations in various locations in India reveal that the level of safety awareness among managers is within the range of 75 85% and among non-managers it is within the range of 70 80%. Hence there is a scope of nearly 25 30% improvement in safety awareness level of employees. Eighty to ninety percent of accidents are triggered by unsafe acts or behaviors. Thus there is a need to emphasize upon behavior based safety (BBS). The present treatise is concerned with human safety in understanding and application of the concept and process of behavior based safety for correcting unsafe behaviors for reduction of accidents and promoting safe behaviors for developing injury-free culture in organizations. This book is based on experiential learning through conducting a number of BBS workshops and safety awareness surveys in Indian organizations.
