To stay relevant, silence distracters and continue to help organizations eliminate death on the job, behavior-based safety (BBS) processes need to experience a “step-change.” To do this, BBS practitioners need to use data to avoid the “venomous cycle,” gain more “color” from current observations, enlist safety analytics to predict injuries and embrace technology to leave a legacy for Millennials.
One of the biggest strengths, and weaknesses, of BBS is the enormous amount of data collected. Not using valuable information collected from observations can lead to an early demise of your process.
