Observing safe behavior and keeping score

As a safety manager, you can help your employees work safely by encouraging them to observe their own behavior … and keep score.

Your employees can create checklists of safety related behaviors. Every time an opportunity for a target behavior occurs, they judge whether their behavior was safe or at-risk and mark it on the checklist. They total up the score at the end of a week and calculate their percentage of safe behavior.

Recording and scoring safe behavior will improve personal safety because it keeps employees involved and accountable to themselves. When they discover the at-risk behaviors they perform, they can remember to avoid them the next time and work safer as a result.
