This Indian case study of behaviour-based safety (BBS) implementation at a multinational organization includes the questions managers ponder over before BBS implementation, critical behaviours responsible for accidents, the roadmap and action plan to implement BBS approach, linking hazard identification with BBS, certain issues in BBS implementation, leading indicators to mark the progress of BBS, best experiences of BBS approach, and a set of outcomes of BBS implementation in other organisations. The information presented in this article would hopefully be useful for companies considering implementing BBS at their workplaces.Keywords

This field action study in five Indian major organisations includes the reviews of behaviour based safety (BBS) implementation, the roadmap and action plan to implement BBS approach, and behavioural trends from a large gas company, two aluminum plants, a shipbuilding company, and an engineering plant. A mix of qualitative as well as quantitative data presented in this article would hopefully be useful for companies considering implementing BBS in order to achieve zero-accident/ injury-free culture at their workplaces. A comparison of the five multinational organisations all over India revealed the behavioural trends on an average as follows: safe behaviours are 70%, unsafe behaviours as 30%, corrections of unsafe behaviour as 67%, and interestingly safe behaviours went up to 90%, which means there is a 20% increase insafe behaviour after corrections by all-category observers. The findings reveal that the unsafe/at-risk behaviours are ischolar_mained in organisational culture. Hence in order to achieve total safety culture, beyond behavioural safety implementation, the organizational behaviour culture domains need attention of the corporate managements such as the quality of construction at project stage, the production target pressures, adequate resources (manpower and materials), sync in safety emphasis among all managers at different levels in the organisation.Keywords

This research paper (based on case studies of 10 orgnaizations) depicts the success cases of behavioural safety cultural transformation in India and identifies how organisations are managing their manpower’s at-risk behaviours at worksites. An objective behind this work is to bring together the field-tested knowledge in the implementation of behavioural safety across sites in India. These cases from diverse organisations across industrial sectors such as oil, gas, petroleum, chemicals, automobile, construction, power, and aluminium across Indian locations, revealed the best practices, experiences and challenges during their BBS implementation journey.Keywords
