What is meant by behavioural safety?
Everyone at work should be safe. The way our leaders, managers, and team members behave in work should always be in line with a safe work environment. This is the core element of behavioural safety in the workplace. At Keystone, safety and well-being are foundational elements of all of our courses, from our management programmes to our safety leadership training. So, let’s take a deeper look at behavioural safety and how you can ensure your business is a safe place for you and your team.
What is behavioural safety?
Behavioural safety involves everyone working together to mitigate risks in the workplace. Everybody is responsible for safety. We must encourage our leaders, managers, and colleagues to identify hazards and act accordingly. Instilling this culture in your business takes time and a proactive approach, which is why behavioural safety training is essential.
Principles behind safe behaviour
Health and safety is the bedrock of a successful business. Many employees and managers have heard the message many times before. so why do we still get accidents, incidents, near misses and lost time? Of course, accidents can happen anywhere, but through thorough training and the development of a culture that prioritises a proactive approach to safety, you can embed a happy and safe environment in which your teams will thrive.
Safety management training focuses on overseeing the processes and systems that can make this happen. Your leaders and managers are advocates for safety. But of course, it’s important to empower your employees when it comes to health and safety, as they will have to make some decisions on the ground to mitigate risks and keep themselves and their colleagues safe.
How Keystone can help you
Keystone takes a behavioural approach to safety leadership development and safety culture change. We know that for an organisation to keep its people safe, well, and motivated, everyone needs to really buy into the need for personal change. This is achieved through immersive safety programmes underpinned by a focus on values, beliefs and behaviours. Our bespoke training challenges perceptions and assumptions, helping everyone understand how to practise safe thinking and working, whether they are in a management position or not.
Our immersive training programme relies on the foundations of behavioural psychology. We combine this with organisational consultancy and values-based learning to create bespoke safety programmes that deliver results specific to the needs of your business.
And because this consultancy approach is specifically designed for you, it ensures that change is sustained long after the training has been completed. This is because everyone remains motivated and empowered to do the right thing.
Putting these structures in place, where everyone is confident to make decisions to keep everyone safe is vital.
