Publisher's Synopsis
Twenty-five safety awareness surveys of organisations in various locations in India reveal that the level of safety awareness among managers is within the range of 85% and among non-managers it is within the range of 70-80%. Hence there is a scope for an improvement of 25-30% in the safety awareness level of employees. Eighty to ninety percent of accidents are triggered by unsafe acts or behaviour. As a result, there is a need to emphasize behaviour based safety (BBS). This title is concerned with human safety from the perspective of the understanding and application of the concept and process of behaviour-based safety in order to correct unsafe behaviour, reduce the number of accidents and promote safe behaviour. It encourages the development of an injury-free culture in organisations. It is based on experiential learning through conducting a number of BBS workshops and safety awareness surveys in Indian organisations.
