Management systems are deliberately designed to influence people's behavior. These include the overall safety management system, containing policies, procedures, risk assessments, JSA's, Permit-To-Work (PTW) systems, etc. Although these systems are audited to assess their efficiency on an annual basis, there are often gaps in the design of the system, or parts do not function as intended. In turn, people behave unsafely to overcome the problems caused by these system failures.

Corrective Actions

B-Safe^® helps to identify and address these system failures to help improve the overall functioning of the systems, which in turn helps to improve safety performance. B-Safe^® has two specific routes for discovering management system factors guiding 'unsafe behavior'.

The first uses Applied Behavior Analysis when developing observation checklists. The actions arising from this route are recorded and entered into a corrective action database by the project team.

The second, is from observations: B-Safe^® observers often discover issues that need correcting to help make their workplace safer. The actions arising from this route are recorded on their observation checklists, which are then entered into a corrective action database by the project team.

B-Safe^® uses a corrective action rate to help ensure all actions identified by both routes are tracked through to completion.
