Behavioral Safety Power Pack

Statistics show that unsafe acts are the most common cause of workplace accidents. Despite the introduction of training programs and safe work practices and procedures, controlling unsafe acts has proven to be difficult. The reason for this is that unsafe acts involve the Human Factor, that is, they occur as a result of people’s attitudes and behaviours.

One of the consequences of the recent technological explosion is that it has increased both the LIKELIHOOD and more importantly, the CONSEQUENCE of human error. The intention of this program is to examine the human factors involved in accidents, incidents and mistakes in the workplace.

Unsafe acts contribute to many accidents and injuries and must be addressed as an important safety issue. Arguably it is the single most important safety issue that exists.

One of the most effective ways of reducing the number of unsafe acts that occur in the workplace (and hence improve your accident statistics overall) is to introduce a ‘Behavioural Safety Approach’.
