Behaviour-Based Safety Management Case Studies across Industries in India

This article is a part of an on-going national action research of behaviour-based safety (BBS) in India including 1,750 executives and 713 workers in 57 organisations based on 'in-depth group interviews' and a structured questionnaire using open-ended questions. This article includes a number of original case studies and field observations selected during BBS training interventions in a period of 12 years between 1997 and 2009 across Indian industries (such as petroleum, steel, cement, power, chemical, among others), which could be highly useful in the application of the concept and process of BBS for human resource/safety professionals. It will also be useful for those concerned about correcting unsafe behaviours for reduction of accidents and promoting safe behaviours for developing an injury-free culture in their organisations.
