Management Support

Managers have a huge part to play in determining the success or otherwise of any behavioral safety process. Research shows that managerial support influences the safety behavior of employees, with figures ranging from 35 percent to 51 percent. Clearly, high levels of managerial support are essential. Most other behavior-based safety vendors cater to this aspect seperately, if at all.

Safety Partnership

B-Safe^® is concerned to develop a genuine 'safety partnership' between management and employees. Managers cannot bring about good safety performance on their own: They rely on their employees, for example, reporting potential or actual incidents, following procedures, working safely, etc. Likewise, employees cannot improve safety on their own either: They rely on management, for example, to release the necessary resources to complete corrective actions, set safety policies, etc.

Safety Leadership

An integral component of B-Safe^®, we work with all levels of management to help them develop 'safety leadership' checklists, containing agreed upon safety support behaviors (e.g. discussed safety with someone this week), to support the B-Safe^® behavior-based safety process 'at the coal-face'. Managers complete these every week, with the scores entered into our online behavioral safety software to provide performance feedback.
