CLASSROOM DATES
INTRODUCTION
Behavioral safety and human factors are foundational elements in fostering a safe and efficient workplace. These concepts emphasize the understanding of how individual behaviors, interactions, and environmental conditions influence workplace safety outcomes. This Behavioural Safety (BBS) and Human Factors in the Workplace training course is meticulously designed to explore the intricate psychological, social, and environmental factors that shape employee behaviour and decision-making. By examining these elements, organizations can gain deeper insights into the root causes of unsafe practices and implement proactive strategies to mitigate risks.
Human factors encompass a broad range of influences, including cognitive, physical, organizational, and environmental aspects. These factors interact to shape how individuals perceive and respond to workplace situations. Cognitive elements, such as attention, memory, and decision-making, play a critical role in determining how employees approach safety-critical tasks. Physical factors, such as fatigue and ergonomics, also impact an individual’s ability to perform safely.
Organizational factors, including leadership style, communication channels, and workplace culture, are equally significant. A culture that prioritizes safety, supported by clear communication and management commitment, creates an environment where employees feel empowered to report hazards and engage in safe practices.
