Program Overview: What is Behaviour-Based Safety (BBS)?
Understand your training needs around behaviour-based safety. This program gives your team practical BBS capability: observing work safely, recording behaviors without blame, and giving feedback that people act on. It focuses on building a safety culture where every employee owns safe behavior.
Enhance your safety Capability and Performance through structured observation and feedback. Your team will practice conducting observation rounds, using checklists, running coaching conversations, and trending observation data into quick fixes. Interactive practice exercises use your site's real tasks and hazards, and instructors coach every feedback conversation before the program closes.
Upskill and reskill employees across HSE, supervision, and frontline functions with one consistent BBS standard. The program develops the Mindset and Culture habits that keep participation high: positive feedback, respectful correction, and shared ownership of safe day-to-day work.
Improve Collaboration and teamwork between HSE and frontline teams. The program ends with a capstone where your team builds and presents a BBS action plan for your site, with observation schedules and feedback routines.

Key Skills and Outcomes Your Team Will Gain
Your team builds job-ready BBS skills across five modules: observation, feedback, and follow-up. Role plays and the capstone plan test every skill, so employees return able to sustain safer behavior.
Observe work without blame
Watch critical tasks safely, record behaviors accurately, and keep observation focused on actions, not people.
Use BBS checklists well
Apply structured observation checklists for high-risk tasks and record results consistently across observers.
Give feedback that changes behavior
Deliver positive and corrective feedback in the moment, so safe behaviors grow and at-risk ones stop.
Run strong coaching conversations
Hold respectful safety conversations that build trust and accountability, even with experienced frontline employees.
Trend data into quick fixes
Turn observation data into patterns, prioritize fixes, and track follow-through with your team.
Sustain participation
Keep observation rounds and feedback routines alive with recognition, visible follow-up, and shared ownership.
Plan a site BBS program
Build observation schedules, feedback routines, and success measures into a plan your site can run.
Teams that Benefit from this Behaviour-Based Safety (BBS) Group Training
Built for HSE managers, supervisors, and frontline teams who want behavior-based safety to stick. Site leaders who sponsor the program benefit too. Content adapts to role and experience, so each cohort practices the observation and feedback workflows it owns.
Build a BBS observation program that runs itself
HSE teams learn to design observation checklists, train observers, and turn data into action, so BBS becomes a running system, not a one-off campaign.
Workflow friction
- Observation data piles up with no follow-up
- Feedback skill varies across observers
- Participation fades after the launch push
How the program helps
- Design checklists matched to your tasks
- Coach observers with structured feedback
- Sustain rounds with visible follow-through
Practice use cases
- Observation rounds
- Checklist design
- Data trending
- Feedback coaching
Coach safe behavior with confident feedback
Supervisors practice giving feedback in the moment, correcting at-risk behavior with care, and keeping safety conversations constructive on every shift.
Workflow friction
- Tough feedback conversations get avoided
- Correction feels like criticism to crews
- Safety talks drift into box-ticking
How the program helps
- Rehearse feedback in coached role plays
- Correct with care, recognize with intent
- Run short, focused safety conversations
Practice use cases
- Feedback role plays
- Coaching practice
- Safety talks
Own safe behaviors on every shift
Frontline employees learn to observe peers respectfully, speak up about at-risk behavior, and welcome feedback as part of a safer day-to-day.
Workflow friction
- Speaking up feels risky to crew members
- Peer feedback gets taken personally
- Safe habits slip under schedule pressure
How the program helps
- Practice respectful peer observation
- Welcome feedback as shared ownership
- Keep safe habits visible every shift
Practice use cases
- Peer observation
- Speak-up practice
- Habit reinforcement
Make safety culture visible and lasting
Site leaders learn to sponsor BBS visibly: setting expectations, recognizing participation, and acting on observation data so the culture holds.
Workflow friction
- BBS runs without visible leadership backing
- Follow-up on findings stays slow
- Culture messages fade below the site level
How the program helps
- Sponsor rounds with visible presence
- Act fast on observation findings
- Recognize teams that participate
Practice use cases
- Visible sponsorship
- Follow-up reviews
- Recognition routines
Every cohort is tailored: observation checklists, scenarios, and the capstone action plan reflect your site, tasks, and safety culture.
Prerequisites: Best suited to HSE managers, supervisors, and frontline employees who influence safe behavior on site. Safety experience helps but is not required, and no prior BBS training is needed. The program adapts to each cohort's site, tasks, and safety culture, so every group practices the observation and feedback situations it will face.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
Behaviour-based safety comes second, after safety essentials. Your team needs core safety concepts before observing and coaching behaviour. The path then moves to human and organisational performance, which looks at the systems behind behaviour, and ends with safety leadership and culture.

Build Constructive Safety Observation and Feedback Practices for Your Site
Our behavior-based safety training connects observation with respectful conversations and practical follow-up. Participants examine at-risk behaviors and their drivers, develop task checklists, and interpret observation data before creating a site action plan. The emphasis is on learning from work and sustaining participation, not blaming individuals or treating behavior as the only source of risk.
- Step 01
Consult
We discuss your site tasks and safety culture, identifying learning needs in non-blaming observation, checklist use, feedback conversations, participation, and follow-up on findings.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish safety habits and behavior drivers before task observation, coached feedback, data interpretation, and the site plan for observation and improvement routines.
- Step 03
Align
We bring HSE staff, supervisors, and frontline employees into the same learning process, adapting examples to their influence and responsibilities within site safety.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor observation checklists and role plays to representative high-risk tasks, including work conditions that help explain behavior rather than judging the worker alone.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants rehearse feedback on safe and at-risk actions, interpret observation trends, and propose practical responses with coaching on respect, evidence, and participation.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the site plan for usable task checklists, constructive feedback routines, justified actions from observation data, and clear schedules and ownership for follow-up.
