'Behavioural Safety' is a one stop guide to all of the core theories and principles that underpin behaviour based safety. All front line behaviours that lead to incidents and injury are covered by the term behavioural safety and getting to grips with the behaviours which might lead people to engage in unsafe or risky behaviour is crucial to prevention. In this book internationally acclaimed behavioural safety expert Tim Marsh leads the reader through the three main strands: The awareness approach, the walk and talk approach, and six sigma safety or the Demming inspired 'full' approach. Going through the very latest innovations in the field, the book covers the systemic approach to safety observation, measurement, intervention and analysis, but also incorporates emotional intelligence training aimed at enhancing supervisor worker trust and communication more generally.
