This Indian case study of behaviour-based safety (BBS) implementation at a multinational organization includes the questions managers ponder over before BBS implementation, critical behaviours responsible for accidents, the roadmap and action plan to implement BBS approach, linking hazard identification with BBS, certain issues in BBS implementation, leading indicators to mark the progress of BBS, best experiences of BBS approach, and a set of outcomes of BBS implementation in other organisations. The information presented in this article would hopefully be useful for companies considering implementing BBS at their workplaces.
