- Inventory of all tasks ( within a selected job)
- Perform JTA ( to identify critical tasks within a job)
a) identify hazards
b) risk assessment
c) controls - Perform critical task analysis
a) break tasks down into sequential steps
b) identify hazards
c) risks assessment & controls - Write instructions or safe work procedure SWP (if necessary)
- Implement on the job training OJT/task observation
Behaviour Based Safety (BBS)
Behaviour is….
An action - refers to acts/actions by individuals that can be observed and measured by others
BBS
Incentive is…
