| Abstract |
It is estimated that employees' behaviour, in the form of acts or omissions, is a contributing factor in up to 80 per cent of work-related accidents. There are many reasons why employees engage in risky behaviour at work. These include cutting corners to save time, ergonomic factors, accepted practice, misunderstanding of risky behaviour and instinctive risk-taking behaviour. This guide outlines key considerations in setting up a behaviour-based safety programme. It includes the example of a behaviour-based programme implemented among ground handling staff of an airline at a major airport. |
