Behavior Based Safety (BBS) is the application of science of behavior change to real world problems. BBS “focuses on what people do, analyzes why they do it, and then applies a research-supported intervention strategy to improve what people do”. At its very core BBS is based on a larger scientific field called Organizational Behavior Analysis. In order be successful a BBS program must include all employees, from the CEO to the floor associates.
To achieve changes in behavior, a change in policy, procedures and/or systems most assuredly will also need some change. Those changes cannot be done without buy-in and support from all involved in making those decisions.BBS is not based on assumptions, personal feeling, and/or common knowledge. To be successful, the BBS program used must be based on scientific knowledge. / Corporate behavior is the behavior of an organization when considered as a single body.The behavior of an organization is influenced by the arrangements for its ownership and control. When the owner(s) appoint agents to manage the organization, conflicts of interest arise which are studied as the principal–agent problem.
