Certain behaviours increase the likelihood of accidents and ill health occuring. These may involve cutting corners and rushing, or failing to report accidents or near misses when they occur. Whilst many of the times these unsafe behaviours will not result in a serious incident, eventually accidents can and do occur.
This course is designed to provide industrial workers at any level with an understanding of what behaviours they can engage in to minimise risk to themselves and others.
Why Is Behavioural Safety Training in Industry Important?
Industrial environments involve the use of heavy plant and machinery, hazardous chemicals and a variety of other significant hazards. The consequences of making a mistake in an industrial environment are high. Having adequate risk controls in place is essential, but they will be meaningless if staff do not follow them.
In order to help minimise the chance of accidents and ill health occuring, employers must build a culture that supports health and safety. This includes ensuring all staff understand how their everyday habits and behaviour can make a significant impact on their health and safety.
