BBS all our acts (Behaviour) Based on Safety. Regardless of our act's triggers and regardless of our act's consequences. ABC...Act Behaviour Consequences. Worker calculates all his behaviour from safety point of view.

Imagine a workplace where everyone looks out for one another, where unsafe acts or conditions are stopped before they lead to incidents. That’s the power of Behavior-Based Safety (BBS)a proactive approach that turns safety into a culture, not just a rulebook.

🔹 BBS is more than policies- it’s participation.

🔹 BBS is more than compliance- it’s commitment.

🔹 BBS is more than observation- it’s intervention.

In a strong BBS culture:

1. Workers speak up when they see unsafe acts, without fear of blame.

2. Corrections are embraced, not ignored or resented.

3. Safety is second nature, woven into daily tasks, not an afterthought.

The true measure of safety isn’t just the absence of accidents- it’s the presence of a proactive mindset. 

Every time you step in to prevent an unsafe act, you’re not just protecting one person, you’re strengthening the safety culture for everyone.
