BBS Behavior-Based Safety

Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) is a systematic approach that fosters employees' sound safety awareness and attitudes by identifying unsafe behaviors, conducting safety communication, and eliminating unsafe behaviors. The core of Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) lies in on-site observation, analysis and communication of unsafe behaviors, and through intervention, it urges employees to recognize the hazards of unsafe behaviors, and prevent and eliminate such behaviors. Data shows that 96% of injuries and accidents stem from unsafe behaviors. Targeting key unsafe behaviors, BBS avoids accident risks from the source through monitoring and statistics, and formulating control measures and corrective actions.

What is BBS?

BBS (Behavior-Based Safety) Management System is a full-participation safety management solution independently developed by Job Safety based on international advanced behavior-based safety theories and integrated with traditional Chinese culture. Its core lies in a closed-loop mechanism of Observation-Communication-Improvement, focusing on the identification, guidance and correction of employees' unsafe behaviors instead of blame and accountability, thus reducing accident risks from the source. This logic is derived from a core finding of DuPont USA: 96% of injuries and accidents are caused by unsafe behaviors.

The core tool of the system is the "Eyes on All Sides" Behavior-Based Safety Observation Card, which constructs a structured observation framework of "Three Sixes" covering all dimensions of behavior-based safety management. Meanwhile, drawing on the advantages of internationally renowned tools such as DuPont STOP of the US and BP ASA of the UK, it is adapted to the management scenarios of Chinese enterprises. Widely applied in all industries including petrochemicals, manufacturing, construction and transportation, it helps enterprises cultivate employees' correct safety awareness and behavioral habits, and build a positive safety culture.


What Value Can Users Gain?

Drastic Reduction in Accident Rate
Accurately identify and correct key unsafe behaviors, cut off the accident occurrence path from the source, and help enterprises reduce the safety accident rate by more than 50%.
Safety Culture Remolding
Advocate blame-free observation and communication, encourage full employee participation in safety management, break the inherent perception that "safety is the responsibility of the safety department", and foster a cultural atmosphere where everyone cares about safety and reminds and helps each other.
Management Standardization
Provide structured observation tools and processes to make behavior-based safety management follow clear guidelines, avoid the randomness of traditional management, and ensure the standardization and unification of the whole process of observation, recording and rectification.
Overall Capability Improvement
Through observation practice and communication feedback, employees can not only raise their awareness of their own safe behaviors, but also master the ability to identify hidden dangers, realizing the transformation from "I have to be safe" to "I want to be safe and I know how to be safe".
Data-driven Decision Making
Through the statistical analysis of observation data, intuitively present the distribution rules of enterprises' unsafe behaviors and the effect of improvement, and provide accurate data support for the optimization of safety management.
Accurately identify and correct key unsafe behaviors, cut off the accident occurrence path from the source, and help enterprises reduce the safety accident rate by more than 50%.

Core Functions: "Three Sixes" Framework + Full-Process Closed-Loop Management

Core Observation Tool: Eyes on All Sides Behavior-Based Safety Observation Card

We have built a structured "Three Sixes" observation system to ensure a comprehensive and thorough observation:

Six Dimensions

Focusing on First Response + Man, Machine, Material, Method, Environment, it covers six core aspects including employees' immediate response to risks, working positions, tools and equipment, personal protective equipment (PPE), compliance with procedures and standards, and workplace management.

Six Orientations

With up, down, left, right, front and back as the observation perspectives, it fully covers all spatial dimensions of the operation site and avoids hidden danger omissions caused by limited observation angles.

Six Senses

Hazards are perceived through the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, tongue and hands (limbs), accurately capturing safety risk signals from visual, auditory, olfactory and other multi-channel sources, which aligns with the ways hazards act on the human body.

The observation card has built-in standardized recording fields, including observer, observed person, date, location, behavior description, corrective actions and more, supporting quick filling and filing. It is also compatible with various scenarios such as self-observation and colleague mutual observation, and adaptable to different groups including internal employees and contractors.


Full-Process Management: Six-Step Closed Loop for Continuous Improvement

Preparation
Clarify observation objects, scenarios and key focuses, and organize training for observers to ensure they master the observation methods and communication skills of the Eyes on All Sides card.
Observation
Conduct on-site observation in accordance with the "Three Sixes" framework, record employees' safe and unsafe behaviors objectively, and do not interfere with normal operations.
Discussion
Communicate with the observed personnel in a blame-free and mutual assistance manner, feed back observation results, analyze the hazards and causes of unsafe behaviors, and jointly explore improvement directions.
Recording
Record observation data via the observation card or digital system to ensure the completeness and accuracy of information such as behavior descriptions and corrective suggestions.
Follow-Up
Formulate rectification measures for identified unsafe behaviors, specify the responsible persons and completion time limits, follow up on the rectification progress, and ensure the effective implementation of behavior optimization.
Systematic Improvement
Conduct statistical analysis on all observation data, identify high-frequency unsafe behaviors and weak links in management, optimize safety systems, training content and on-site management measures, and form a positive cycle of continuous improvement.

Customer Cases

The Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) Management System has been implemented and applied in various industries including petrochemical, manufacturing and construction.

A large-scale chemical enterprise introduced the Eyes on All Sides observation tool and promoted full-staff behavior-based safety observation, achieving a 68% reduction in the incidence of unsafe behaviors and a 75% year-on-year decrease in minor injury accidents within just six months. A construction engineering company standardized contractors' operational behaviors through this system, raising the correct PPE wearing rate at operation sites from 72% to 98%, which effectively reduced the risks of typical accidents such as falls from height and struck-by-object incidents.

Featuring ease of operation, practical effectiveness and strong cultural guidance, the system has become an important component of enterprises' safety management systems, helping them build a long-term safety mechanism.
