• BBS Behavior-Based Safety Observation 1. Introduce yourself, ask their name, put the person at ease and explain the process. Ask permission to do an observation. 2. Ask the person to explain the job that is being performed. 3. Ask them to define the hazards and precautions associated with the task they are performing. 4. Ask open-ended questions to learn more about at-risk behaviors. (Ex: What’s the worst accident that can happen? How could you be hurt doing this task? Why are you doing it this way?) 5. Observe the job. 6. Provide positive feedback by praising safe behaviors first. 7. Draw out the corrective action that may be required from the person. 8. Get a personal commitment that the individual will carry out this action and thank the person for participating.
