Behavioral safety management
Abstract
Industrial and occupational safety have
become important areas of social concern in
India with increase in industrial activity.
The standard organizational response to
accidents is conducting an investigation and
taking some corrective measures like
improving equipment design, plant layout,
and changing some work practices. One
factor which is often overlooked, or paid
inadequate attention at best, is employee
behaviour.
In this paper, Chhokar describes a twostage
safety programme based on applied
behavioural analysis. The aim of the
programme is to increase the frequency of
safe behaviour by employees through
suitable interventions. Issues related to
implementation, maintenance, and
evaluation of this programme are discussed
and suggestions for implementing it are
made.
