Behavior Based Safety Training
Behavior-Based Safety is a component of Human Performance--An Organizational Learning Enterprise Human error is normal, a natural part of being human and in one form or another, is the primary reason for events in industry. Human error is often provoked by conflicting management and leadership practices, weaknesses in the organization, processes, and culture and the behaviors of the individuals in the organization. Understanding human error helps one recognize complexities and limitations to performance. As one begins to understand the dynamics of the organization and the individual capabilities of the individuals that make up the organization, organizational learning can begin. With ongoing attention and focus of organizational and personal limitations and the lessons of day-to-day events, an organization can one day be that of an Organizational Learning Enterprise. Course will introduce the Idaho National Laboratory's (INL) Behavior-Based Safety process and as a component of Human Performance has become an Organizational Learning Enterprise that has supported bringing about the INL's lowest injury/illness rates in history. *This class is fully online, registered participants will receive 30 days to watch, review, and complete.

Hazard Recognition
Available with either English or Spanish Audio. -A Spanish Transcript is available here. How is a job safety hazard like a crocodile? Well you usually don't expect either of them to be there; a lot of time you don't even notice they are there; and sometimes you find them by surprise with not very pleasant results. This class uses a comparison of job hazards to crocodiles to assist the audience and attendees to better understand that hazards are not always that easy to identify. The presentation relates the two with video clips and job site photos to provide the comparisons of hazards and crocodiles. The presentation shows examples of hazards at the job sites, like mounting/dismounting equipment, gravity as a hazard, unusual tasks, chemical agents, lifting heavy objects, working on high walls and steep slopes that the attendees can relate to and that they may have had to deal with at their own job sites. These hazards will be linked to the 11 most common sources of injury in the workplace. Through active audience interaction, participants will be given the opportunity to discuss other challenging workplace hazards that they may have encountered. The presentation objectives allow the participants to be able to achieve the following: Understand what creates a workplace hazard Anticipate where hazards might be hiding Describe what types of injuries can result from workplace hazards Approach safety hazards with the anticipate, recognize, evaluate and control method Consider how human behavior contributes to unplanned incidents Appreciate the importance of fully utilizing work safety plans in job planning This new online series is made possible by the Susan Harwood Training Grant Program. “This material was produced under grant SH20849SH0 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor.
