    Behavior Based Safety Program

    Goals:

    1. To encourage active employee participation in our safety program


    2. To encourage safe behaviors and discourage unsafe behaviors on an individual employee
    basis as well as work units/departments

    How we will achieve goals:

    • Employee motivation, peer recognition and creating employee based


    audits/observations of safety behaviors

    When will recognition be given:

    • Once per month across all campus units.

    How will employee/unit be selected:

    • Employee’s can be nominated by peers, supervisors, Safety Committee or Safety


    Officer. An employee who best represents an active, positive impact on our health
    and safety program will be selected for “Employee Safety Recognition”.

    • A unit or department may be selected and recognized for it’s outstanding efforts at
    integrating safety procedures or improving it’s safety performance. Performance
    may be measured by observation, formal audit results and/or workers compensation
    accident claim data.

    Note: Everyone has clear responsibility for safety and is expected to practice the “highest degree of
    safety”. This program is designed to help us change behaviors so that safety becomes part of
    the standard operating procedure and is widely valued across all campus units. It is designed as
    a motivational tool to get employee’s “involved”. Data and information on units that need to
    improve will be provided and communicated so that everyone has a clear understanding of
    challenges we need to overcome.

    Behavior Guidelines:
    Positive Safety Behaviors
    Changing the way you usually do your job to a safer method
    Reminding co-workers about taking safety precautions
    Consistently wearing your personal protective equipment
    Consistently using safety program procedures
    Reminding co-workers that they should be wearing personal protective
    equipment – motivating them
    Providing feedback to supervisors that some employee’s are not following safety
    procedures or wearing their personal protective equipment.

    Negative Safety Behaviors


    Not wearing personal protective equipment or using general safety equipment
    Not following safety procedures/programs [ welding procedures, lockout-tagout,
    tractor safety, ladder safety ]. Taking shortcuts.
    These behaviors are considered unacceptable and are not fair to rest of the
    department. They reflect negatively on the department as a whole.

    Recognition Guidelines:
    • A safety recognition certificate will be presented to the employee/unit at a group meeting to
    celebrate and recognize their contributions to the safety program. The certificate should be
    mounted in a bulletin board area for department wide recognition.
    • A lunch certificate may be awarded to an employee to have a lunch meeting with the campus
    safety officer.
    • Departmental recognition as appropriate.
    • Supervisors/managers should make special note of and recognize the employee/unit at a
    departmental/group meeting.
    • At the end of each calendar year a special lunch celebration may be arranged with all
    nominated employees, safety officer, department directors to recognize our safety program
    accomplishments in creating a safer work environment at Southwestern University.
