S26: Behavior Based Safety: The Deeper Why
Robert J. Veazie, MBA
People Powered Leadership
Corvallis, OR
This presenation will look at how easy it is to mechanize and depersonalize Behavior Based Safety. Many organizations have become disconnected from why this process is completed. The symptom of this is employees don't want to complete formal observations, they don't want to participate. And a response to this to mandate participation or set a "quota" will almost always fail to gain the quality of observation desired as well as the REAL REASON and outcomes for why we even have a BBS process. This session will provide real field examples to where BBS systems were failing and means to improve them. If you are thinking about implementing or improving your Behavior Based Safety process, please attend. It is gauranteed by the time you leave this session you will more than 1 idea you can immediately take back to your organization to positively impact your process. And if you are one of those that don't believe in BBS, come have your viewpoint get shattered hearing why this process is essential in some form, why the process is so ineffectively done in so many companies (probably a reason why many people have said "been there, done that) and the means to truly make BBS work. The presenter has co-authored 2 books with Behavior-Based Safety founder Dr. E. Scott Geller (who first worked with Ford in 1979).
