AM-93-63 BEHAVIOR AND SAFETY - THE CRITICAL LINK

Description:

Research by Du Pont and others suggest that 80 to 90 percent of today’s accidents are a result of unsafe acts rather than environmental conditions. Yet very few companies achieve consistently high levels of compliance with safety procedures. New research shows the effectiveness of a behavioral approach to safety that increases compliance and greatly reduces accidents. This article presents the kind of results that you can achieve through a behavioral safety process, a summary of the key components of a behavioral safety process, and an overview of a simple process for implementing a behavioral approach within your organization’s existing safety efforts.
