Shell Canada has been asking its sub-contractors to have their workers fill in behaviour observation cards and compile monthly reports.  We're in the process of finishing off our Behavior Observation module that allows workers to fill in the forms on a laptop, IPad, or Blackberry.  Alternatively, customers can still use the paper cards and have a safety administrator key the results into the system.  The system then produces the summary report and graph that can be printed or a pdf emailed to the appropriate representative at Shell.

The system is just about ready, but we've already rolled out our first lesson in the Behavior-Based Safety course (called Introduction to Behavior Observations).  The lesson is meant for workers that will either be observed, or that will be doing observations (most BBS programs allow optional participation to all workers).  Topics covered include:

Origins and theory of BBS
Critical behaviors
"At Risk" vs. "Safe" states
Conducting BBO observations
Other best practices

Like all training in SafetySync, this course is available free in our Basic plan.  Sign up for our online safety management system today and assign the course to your employees.  It will go a long toward ensuring that your Behavior Based Safety program is well received and successful.
