Behavioural Based Safety on National Highways Toolbox Talk: Promoting a Positive Safety Culture in Highways Work
The Behavioural Based Safety (BBS) on National Highways Toolbox Talk provides essential guidance on fostering a proactive, safety-conscious workforce through behavioural safety principles. Developed in line with Raising the Bar 5 (RTB5), this document draws on best practices from UK government publications such as the Traffic Signs Manual (Chapter 8) and HSE guidance to reduce incidents caused by unsafe behaviours and improve overall site safety.
Behavioural Based Safety is a proactive approach that focuses on understanding and influencing worker behaviour to create safer work environments. This toolbox talk explores the key components of BBS in traffic management settings, including the importance of hazard awareness, personal responsibility, and peer-to-peer safety observations. It provides practical strategies for identifying and addressing at-risk behaviours while reinforcing positive actions through recognition and continuous feedback.
The document also aligns with HSE’s guidance on worker involvement and UK legislation such as the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, which mandates employer responsibility for cultivating a safe working culture. The toolbox talk covers techniques like safety conversations, behavioural audits, and the use of leading indicators to track safety performance improvements. This structured approach helps teams understand the relationship between their behaviours and workplace risks, ultimately reducing the likelihood of accidents and near misses.
