ABOUT THE USING BEHAVIOR BASED SAFETY PRINCIPLES TO ENHANCE AN ERGONOMICS PROGRAM
Originally aired on June 17, 2015, this online seminar was broadcast exclusively to members of the Certified Professionals Directory.
In this one hour seminar Martha K. Frame, PT, MS, MBA, CEAS, discusses the principles behind Behavior Based Safety (BBS) and how these principles can be used to enhance your Ergonomics Program. BBS is a process that focuses on what employees do and why they do it, in order to improve the likelihood of safe behaviors. An effective Ergonomics Program also relies on employees performing safe behaviors. Collecting data from a BBS program can assist in promoting leading indicators of safety performance rather than solely relying on lagging indicators such as injury rates.
