Behavior Based Safety: Still Relevant?

Send us a text

Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) has been around for decades, credited with reducing incidents and shifting focus onto frontline actions. In today's evolving workplaces, some question whether BBS still fits--or if it unintentionally reinforces blame culture. In this episode of Safety on Purpose, we unpack where BBS came from, why it's under fire, and what needs to evolve for it to remain effective. We'll explore how modern safety culture demands more than observation checklists--and how integrating trust, context, and human factors can transform BBS. into a tool for engagement rather. than compliance.

If you've ever wondered whether BBS is outdated or how to adapt it for today's workforce -- this. conversation is for you.
