Behavior-Based Safety 101 Workshop
Monday April 8, 2013 from 1:00pm - 5:00pm
DoubleTree Hotel Houston - Intercontinental Airport
15747 John F. Kennedy Blvd.
Houston, Texas Get Directions
Description
This session is designed to be an introduction to the rationale and practice of BBS for newcomers and a thorough review for participants at the workforce and management levels.

The supporting roles of management and supervisors will be discussed. The support roles in BBS are less active than the participants' roles, yet more critical for success and sustainability. In addition to understanding what BBS is and how it works, managers and supervisors need to know the rationale for having a process and the strategies for ensuring it is successful.

Being well grounded in the principles and practices is a basic need for success to both those who are implementing or renewing BBS processes. The course will cover every major facet of BBS including the following:

The philosophy and science behind BBS
The rationale and ROI (return on investment) of BBS
What leads to union resistance and how to involve unions for support
Selection criteria and functions of a BBS Steering Team/Committee
Time-away-from-work requirements of Steering Team members and Observers
Key roles, responsibilities and expectations (RREs) of those participating in the process
Manager's and Supervisor's support roles
The responsibilities and benefits of employees in a BBS environment
Start-up cycles for BBS from implementation to maturity
How to communicate BBS to the workforce
Support and resources needed by the process to ensure success
How to posture BBS in relation to other safety efforts and programs
How BBS impacts safety culture and how to utilize BBS as a safety culture building tool
How to keep the process results oriented
How to guarantee process sustainability
How to refresh and renew an existing BBS process

Attendees will be thoroughly versed on the basics of BBS to either return to a project or attend the Annual BBS Conference with purpose and focus.
