Following the classic argument that more accidents are caused by unsafe acts than unsafe conditions, behavior-based safety programs are touted as the best way to prevent or reduce injuries on the job. Since industrial hygiene usually goes hand-in-hand with safety, does this mean behavior-based safety includes a hygiene/health component as well?
I asked several safety and health professionals this question and received a quick "yes" from all of them. I wish they would have hesitated before answering because the correct response takes more thought.
