Conflict Management - Working Through Differences
Interactive Training for Government AgenciesValues-Based Safety Training
Promote a behavior-based safety culture - Training session engages employees to fully participate in the process of their own safety system.
Workplace safety is a combination of three measurable components: the person, their environment, and their values/behavior. Training that brings these three elements together is really the only way workplace accidents can be eliminated. This Values-Based Safety training session helps employees identify and choose a safe behavior over an unsafe one.
This is not a typical behavior-based program. Instead of bringing simple management tools, we offer a values sharing method that transforms culture norms and releases employees to more fully participate in the process of their own safety system, i.e., safety as a way of life. We want to promote making discretionary choices because of shared values.
Valuable input should be acquired in preparation for this training. Provided in this onsite training is a pre-training survey developed to gather current managers’ and supervisors’ perspectives on safety. The survey results are prepared and presented to the selected members of the company leadership who will be attending the conference.
The training program is interactive with entertaining and insightful presentations, including small team discussions and practical application of techniques to real-life situations.

Behavior-Based Safety Training
A course designed to improve safety awareness to make safe behavior and workplace safety a part of your work culture
This onsite Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) seminar trains the techniques that lead to a reduction in accidents using both the OSHA standards and the strategies of behavior-based safety. BBS focuses on what people do, analyzes why they do it and then applies a research-supported intervention strategy to improve what people do.
Workplace safety is a combination of three measurable components: the person, their environment and their behavior. Training that brings these three elements together is really the only way workplace accidents can be eliminated. This Behavior-Based Safety training session helps employees identify and choose a safe behavior over an unsafe one.
This highly interactive course provides an immediate positive impact on your safety program. Participants learn to analyze behavior and its impact on individual safety, and reverse the effects of attitudes that contribute to accidents and injuries. Real-life situations, exercises, cases and interactive discussions help participants discover new behaviors to prevent the accidents in their areas of responsibility. This session is an essential part of achieving a successful BBS System.
Training Benefits
- Understand the importance of OSHA as the engineering standard for workplace safety
- Create a system for managing exposures derived from local accident data
- Develop a safety culture that promotes and protects employees with joint ownership from every level of the organization
- Design a behavioral checklist for coaching employees in accident avoidance
- Implement design changes to the workplace to increase the ability of employees to perform their jobs safely
Overview of Concepts and Deliverables Provided
Participants will learn how to manage workplace hazards. To better support this concept, the course will be themed as a mountain ascent. This begins by embracing the OSHA standards as the theoretical base camp for the climb. To reach the summit, climbers must have the necessary equipment but also be interdependent upon each other to achieve a safe climb. The changing environment requires active analysis, leadership and route alterations. Behavior Based Safety advances strategic accident prevention by exposing the underlying causes and rewards to unsafe behaviors, coaching behavioral change in employees using an observation format, and advancing design changes to the workplace driven by supportive data.
Course Structure
Module 1: Why we need OSHA (Base Camp)
Module 2: Extracting data from accident reports (Why other climbs fail)
Module 3: Developing a safety culture starting with the safety council (Planning the climb)
Module 4: Designing the checklist and coaching behavioral change (Reducing the risk)
Module 5: Workplace design changes (Celebrating the Summit)
Each Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) seminar is custom tailored to your industry and organization's safety issues.
