Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) Programs That Build Safer Workplaces

Contact Us
Your employees have the tools, training, and a strong safety culture, yet safety incidents still happen. Why?
Because exposure can go unrecognized. When the point where people and hazards meet is missed, even skilled workers may not pause, reassess, or adjust their behaviors.
DEKRA’s Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) Program helps your teams consistently make safe choices. It is a proven, science-based approach that focuses on controlling exposure through targeted safety observations, real-time feedback, and practical coaching.
BBS is not about finding fault. It is about creating a workplace where exposures are identified, addressed, and controlled, before incidents occur.
A Proven, Science-Based Approach to Driving Safer Behaviors
When implemented correctly, Behavior-Based Safety becomes a leading indicator of exposure. Instead of focusing on injuries after they happen, BBS uses observation data to predict where risks exist.
Our BBS approach:
  • Helps front-line employees reliably engage in safe behaviors
  • Provides practical observation and feedback tools
  • Builds shared safety language across all levels of your organization
  • Creates actionable data that drives proactive safety decisions
What Makes DEKRA’s BBS Program Different?
  • Supported by more than 30 years of sustained success in the field
  • Driven by engaged facilitators, strong governance, and leadership commitment
  • Integrated with your business systems and quality processes
  • Backed by Deming’s principles and the latest human behavior research
  • Scalable to your unique operational needs
We also offer digital tools that make BBS observations simple and fast. Using our 10-second observation method, employees can quickly capture safety data without paperwork distractions. Our intuitive dashboard makes it easy to see critical safety trends at a glance.
