Safety Culture Excellence

Bonjour! Recording on the road this week in Paris, France. We have recorded many topics on Behavior-Based Safety and specifically the observation portion of the initiative. After all it is the engine of the average process. However, consider that conducting observations is not the only source of energy and there is not one type of observation strategy.

It always creates, above all, its own and different problems. Only the fairy tale ends, ‘They lived happily ever after.’” So let’s consider there are 5 major observation strategies for Behavior Based Safety and Terry and I sat down recently and discussed these.
