Risk Perception (BBS)

In many industries, accidents are often the result of unobserved acts or omissions linked to teams’ habitual behaviors. Risk perception, at the heart of behaviour-based safety (BBS), makes it possible to identify these practices before they lead to incidents.

This training provides managers and frontline personnel with the tools to analyze behaviors, implement structured observations, and develop a proactive safety culture, thereby promoting continuous improvement in HSE performance.

Training objectives

• Identify at-risk behaviors observed in the field according to the BBS methodology
• Understand how behaviors influence risk perception and safety culture
• Learn to conduct BBS observations and provide constructive feedback to reinforce safe practices
• Establish a continuous improvement action plan based on BBS observation data

Who this training is for
