THE NATIONAL Safety Council (NSC) in the US says increased data can enhance behaviour-based injury-prevention, interventions and improve occupational safety and health.
Behavioural safety is the science of observing workers' behaviours to determine where a different behaviour or set of behaviours may have prevented or lessened the severity of injury.
The Council suggests behavioural safety can improve safety performance through peer observations, goal setting, feedback and incentives for reaching safety goals.
The group recommends businesses use behavioural safety as part of an holistic safety program which addresses psychological, social, engineering and organisational factors.
