Apa itu Behavior Based Safety (BBS) dan bagaimana penerapannya untuk operator?

Behavior Based Safety (BBS) adalah pendekatan proaktif yang focus pada observasi dan feedback terhadap safe/unsafe behavior untuk mencegah kecelakaan.

Prinsip BBS:

• 80-95% kecelakaan disebabkan unsafe behavior, bukan unsafe condition
• Behavior dapat diobservasi dan diubah melalui intervention
• Positive reinforcement lebih efektif dari punishment

BBS Process:

1. Define Critical Behaviors

• Identifikasi key safe behaviors untuk operator
• Example: "Always sound horn before moving", "Use three-point contact", "Wear seatbelt"

2. Observation

• Peer observation menggunakan checklist
• Observer trained untuk objective assessment
• Non-punitive - tujuannya learning

3. Feedback

• Immediate: Provide feedback on-the-spot
• Specific: "I noticed you didn't check mirror before reverse" vs "Be more careful"
• Positive: Acknowledge safe behavior, correct unsafe tactfully

4. Data Analysis

• Track safe vs unsafe behavior over time
• Identify trend dan systemic issue

5. Action & Recognition

• Address barriers untuk safe behavior
• Recognize dan reward improvement

Example BBS Observation for Excavator Operator:

Safe Behaviors Observed:

• ✓ Pre-op inspection completed
• ✓ Seatbelt fastened
• ✓ Communication dengan spotter clear

Unsafe Behavior Observed:

• ✗ Excavating without verifying underground utility

Feedback Given:

"Great job on thorough pre-op check. I noticed digging started without confirming utility clearance. Let's review utility map together to ensure safe excavation."

BBS creates culture of care dimana everyone looks out for each other's safety.
