What is Behavior Observation?
Enable continuous improvement of safety performance by eliminating risky behaviors through behavioral observation, risk identification and mitigation, and establishing a culture of safety.
Behavioral observation is the systematic approach to minimizing incidents and improving workplace safety by collecting reliable and valid data on worker behavior and the factors that control it. Behavioral observations are an opportunity to deliver positive and constructive feedback structured around observations of a particular behavior or a set of behaviors, facilitating organization-wide learning.
Behavioral observation works on Heinrich’s law of safety which states that the number of accidents and their severity are inversely proportional. As a result, by minimizing the number of minor incidents, the number of major accidents can also be reduced. This makes behavioral observation critical for the continuous improvement of the safety management program of the organization.
