Employee-Driven Systems for Safe Behavior
Author: Thomas R. Krause, Ph.D., Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board, Behavioral Science Technology, Inc.
Integrating Behavioral and Statistical Methodologies
Starting in the mid-1980s, the author and his associates pioneered and field-tested a behavior-based approach to continuous safety improvement, grounded on the principles of total quality management (TQM). This book focuses on the fundamentals of this approach, drawing on extensive implementation experiences and the input of safety professionals, managers, and wage-roll personnel from companies in a wide array of industries. It provides:
- An overview of the behavioral theory underlying continuous safety improvement.
- An introduction to key instruments and procedures, such as the inventory of critical behaviors, peer-to-peer observation and feedback, and statistical analysis of behavioral data.
- An overview of issues in behavior management ranging from ergonomics to employee selection to incident investigation.
- Case histories of implementations at companies such as Monsanto, Chevron and PPG Industries, Inc.
