Welcome to a presentation on Behavior Based Safety and Situational awareness

copyright 03 June 2013 Chandergupt Mehta

Behavior is a contributory factor in more than 85% of accidents, and one of the greatest challenges facing those responsible for health & safety in the workplace. Behavior-Based Safety is a process that helps seafarer identify and choose a safe behavior over an unsafe one

What makes us take Risks

JOLLY NERO Incident 08 May 2013 8 dead

Jolly Nero had stern way and knocked the watch tower

Possible cause
Human error Speed Mechanical failure

Why we do need BBS and SA BBS touches the root cause of accidents and vetting observations. Unsafe behaviors are at the core of any near misses, injury , accidents. If we control unsafe behaviors , we may not even have near miss and vetting observations Leakage in purifier circulating

Pump . Lagging are oil soaked No spare part from company High risk observation Rejection of vessel Commercial losses.

SBC model

The SBC model is based on asking what is an Situational , Behavior and Consequence An Situation is something that exists or happens before a behavior is performed. A trigger. A BEHAVIOUR is an observable act. What can be observed can be controlled A CONSEQUENCE is what results from a behavior

So through BBS and SA we can reduce the risk to the seafarer ,Equipment, environment as well as the company reputation.

SAFETY ACTIVITIES

Consequence Qualities
All consequences can be broken down and found to consist of the following qualities: Timing sooner or later Consistency certain or uncertain Significance positive or negative Perception of consequences influences the Behavior . If every one takes action after consequence it is reactive. But if we observe and give feedback and rectify then it become pro active for the future

Paradox of safety /Human element

Further, most unsafe behaviors can be rewarding. For exampleBeing praised for taking a short cut to finish a job quickly Getting home quicker! The Paradox of Safety states, Most safe behaviors are punishing. For example. Discomfort wearing a respirator or safety goggles/safety helmet Extra time taken to get the correct tool Having to complete forms such as a hot work permit, etc., before starting a job

What is BBS? Its a Continuous Improvement Process

Behavior-Based Safety is a process that helps seafarer identify and choose a safe behavior over an unsafe one. The Behavior-Based Process DECIDEDecide a time you are going to observe a person at Work STOPStop within 5 feet of the person OBSERVEObserve the person to see if they are following established procedures Are they working safely and is the work station conducive to a safe work environment? ACTRe-enforce safe behavior and correct unsafe behavior Be sure the person knows the correct behavior, and its importance The Behaviors Based Safety Process on the vessel is by the seafarer , of the seafarer , for the seafarer

benefits

The true benefits of safety improvement is about people: a) Injuries are prevented and lives are saved b) Seafarer will be spared disabling injuries and lost time from work c) Seafarer will come home to their families safely

Situational Awareness

Why SA Investigations across various industry have shown that 60-85% of the human error was due to problems with situation Awareness. Studies of accidents in maritime operations support the notion that loss of situational awareness plays a significant role in incidents attributed to human error SA Knowing what is going on around you

Risk Management

Good news The good news Problems and mishaps always happen to other Guy The bad News to every one else , you are the other guy For a good Risk assessment you require Good SA .

LEVEL 1 SA Looking and Perceiving

Level 1 SA looking and Perceiving What do we see when we look? Do we see what is out there in the world, or do we see only what we expect to see? The answer is that we do see what is in our environment, but we tend to see more of what we expect to see. In short, what we see depends to some extent on what we already know. Because looking for information in the situation depends on knowledge you already have about what you are looking for, Learning to improve your SA can therefore only occur if you are also widening your knowledge of ISM/TMSA and various simulators /Trainings

Level 2SA thinking and understanding

Level 2SA thinking and understanding Is where we think about and understand the meaning of that information When we see following tide on stbd quarter any alternation to stbd increase rate of turn and it will be Difficult to return back to port .

Level 3 SA anticipation

Level 3 SA anticipation The next step, that is only possible when the first two processes are working, is to anticipate what is going to happen in time and space . Anticipation is how we begin to see accidents before they happen and make good decisions in order to carry out defensive actions

Breaking the behavior barrier

Understanding hazardous behavior Pride Accepting challenges beyond capabilities or not asking questions Hero I am the hero I can do anything Invulnerability This cannot happen to me Example smoking , unproductive (protective ) sex with various partners , Fatalistic What has to happen will happen irrespective of what we do Complacency- It can never happen to me Summit fever Desire to reach summit /LC at any cost Naivety - New the job and not aware of risk , not familiar with vessel
