PREVENT WORK-RELATED INJURIES Behavior-based safety is based on the theory that most accidents at workplaces can be prevented with the right behavioral analysis and training. Minor errors and oversights are often left unreported and thus can lead to major accidents if the causes for the incidents are not addressed. Improve employee safety with our presentation on Behavior-Based Safety: http://www.presentationload.com/behavior-based-safety-powerpoint-template.html The BBS approach examines which behaviors and organizational circumstances led to accidents. By knowing this, you can inform employees about safe behavior at the workplace and implement Behavior-Based Safety in your company. This template not only contains images with background information on occupational safety, but also a series of graphs with statistics and figures on the subject as well as a useful icons toolbox.

4. Don’t do something detrimental to yourself. In
hurting yourself, you obviously do damage to
you, but you are part of the team, so when you
damage yourself via a poor choice, you are
hurting the team as well.

6. Out of this patient group, one accident with
major injury will occur “Titanic Event“.
29 accidents of moderate injury will occur.
These must be met with countermeasures.
In a group of 3,846 patients, negligence
causes 300 accidents with no or little injury.
His studyshows the relationship between
small instances of negligence and
catastrophic events in the workplace:

7. DEFINITION
Behavior-Based Safety
Behavior Based Safety (BBS)
Heinrich’s theory serves as the basis
for the behavior-based safety theory.
This implies that 85 – 90 % of
workplace accidents are caused by
unsafe behavior.
Heinrich reviewed numerous accident
reports. These reports concluded that
workers were generally responsible for
these accidents but did not investigate
the causes.

8. DEFINITION
goal
 Safety should be
integrated in the
behavior,
routines,
motivations and
qualities of each
employee
tool
 BBS is a tool
used to reinforce
safe behavior
through
behavioral
observation and
positive
feedback

 The
organizational
principles of BBS
are steering
committees and

representatives
who are
