Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) is viewed as a way to create a safety partnership between management and employees that helps focus attention and action on daily safety behavior to ensure a safe workforce. While BBS has been useful in some companies, not everyone agrees on its effectiveness or value. During this lively discussion, we will speak to the pros, cons and alternatives to BBS programs.
