Tim Marsh

A Definitive Guide to Behavioural Safety (eBook, ePUB)

Health and Well-Being, Second Edition

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

'Behavioural safety' or behaviour-based safety (BBS) has been around as a concept for several decades and is commonly held to mean directly tackling the frontline behaviours that lead to incidents and injury. Unfortunately, virulent criticism of some approaches of BBS frequently generalises to all others, so that commentators don't know if they are arguing or agreeing. This book aims to cut through the waffle to be the one-stop guide to all the core theories and principles that underpin behaviour-based safety.

In this second edition, internationally acclaimed behavioural safety expert Tim Marsh leads the reader through the three main strands: The awareness approach, the 'walk-and-talk' approach, and the Six-Sigma safety or the Deming-inspired 'full' approach that covers the systemic approach to safety observation, measurement, intervention, and analysis, but also incorporates emotional intelligence training aimed at enhancing supervisor-worker trust and communication more generally.

Updated to reflect systemic changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic and featuring a brand-new chapter on well-being that discusses the massive changes in thinking about the interaction of culture and personal safety that have occurred since the previous edition was published. This book allows the reader to set up an ambitious and wide-ranging behavioural safety programme from scratch or refresh their current approach.

• Written by one of the world's leading BBS experts, including leading the first major research project on the applied use of BBS outside of the US, based on the author's experiences with more than 400 organisations
• Delivered in an accessible and popular writing style that simplifies complex theory and arguments in a user-friendly way, plus features end-of-chapter checklists to underpin learning
• Possesses a post-COVID focus, bringing behavioural safety into the 2020s, and covers the growing concept of well-being in a brand-new chapter.

The title features end-of-chapter checklists to confirm understanding of the concepts. A Definitive Guide to Behavioural Safety is the go-to book for any practicing occupational health and safety professional.

Rezensionen

"...he sets out to provoke a debate about BBS (and) is well positioned to do so having been part of the seminal research...an enjoyable read... there is very useful examination of communication, the need for good behavioural data and analysis, planning, good material on coaching .. and pleased to see, in a section on wellbeing, the author highlighting that workplace safety is the least of our concerns.. a lot of very useful questioning and signposting... (so in conclusion) this is a very useful primer, extremely accessible and worthy of a read by anyone... highly recommended. Buy it, read it, keep it - but don't forget to pass the message on.



Health and Safety at Work, Dec 2017



"This book provides the first short, accessible and easy-to-read guide to the principles and practise of Behavioural safety...Marsh writes in a very chatty and engaging style (and) the book is written from the perspective of someone who has implemented numerous behavioural programmes across a range of industries... the reader is presented with valuable proven insights...This is essential reading for anyone embarking on, or relaunching, a behavioural safety programme..."
