Behavior-Based Safety: Visible Safety Leadership

CONTACT US about group and customized options for organizations.

Abstract

Leadership support is the primary force behind successful BBS implementation. Too often, this support is viewed as simply delivering a series of messages about the importance of safety, but effective safety leadership requires analysis, planning, and building accountability for critical leadership practices. This course teaches those essential practices, how to apply them, and science behind them.

This course includes basic behavior-analytic concepts in the context of safety and is recommended for individuals who have taken the previous courses within this series or otherwise have a general understanding of the behavior-based safety process.
