Abstract
Many companies have made many efforts to reach to a safe operation. These efforts have led to improve their safety level but all too often still unwanted events associated with injuries occur. To achieve a sustainable safety, many techniques have been adopted. Among them, behavior-based safety has been applied to improve safety through employees’ safe behavior. In this paper, the BBS model is more closely studied. The aim of the study is to understand the features of the BBS model, its coming into existence, its pros and cons and how the model works in the industry.
