In a modern economy the cost of accidents in terms of injury to workers and productivity to employers is high. Health and safety systems are implemented to reduce the incidence of accidents and unsafe practices. Behaviour Based Safety targets changes in worker behaviour as a means of preventing occupational injuries and illnesses.

This module will provide an understanding of the principles and application of behaviour-based safety in the context of more effectively managing workplace health and safety.
