Description:Behavior-based safety (BBS) is a set of methods to improve safety performance in the workplace by engaging workers in the improvement process, identifying critical safety behaviors, performing observations to gather data, providing feedback to encourage improvement, and using gathered data to target system factors for positive change. In August, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) sponsored a group of seminars on BBS as part of its human factors research program on driver performance enhancement. In particular, FMCSA is interested in ensuring the safe, effective use of current and advanced in-vehicle driver performance monitoring devices (e.g., speed monitoring, headway monitoring, alertness monitoring). Performance monitoring offers an opportunity to improve driver safety and productivity by measuring and providing feedback to drivers on critical performance variables. 4 p.
