2-Day Practical Workshop in Integrating Behavioral Safety into Health and Safety Management System - Static and Dynamic Settings About Behavioral Safety Many people misunderstood that behavioral safety is a system that can replace the current approach of the occupational health and safety management system. This is not the case. In fact, organizations need to put in place a health and safety management system and concurrently applies behavioral safety. The rationale of arriving behavioral safety program can be extracted in the definition of safety culture. UK Health and Safety Commission (1993) defined safety culture as 'the product of individual and group values, attitudes, perceptions, competencies and patterns of behavior that determine the commitment to, and the style and proficiency of, an organization's health and safety management'. BSD Professionals, David Tan (2010) defined positive safety culture as 'an assemble of individuals Which made up of groups' positive safety values, beliefs, attitudes, competencies and safe patterns of behavior that committed in controlling a healthy and safe workplace using a practicable health and safety management system that can reduce the workplace's risk to as safe as reasonably practicable. These are demonstrated by top management empowering safety and health down to the last worker in the organization with open communications, open consultations, consistent compliances and co-operations'. These definitions are relatively similar as they characterized into mutual values, beliefs, attitudes, patterns of behavior and it focused on what was described in a task-force based safety culture only if the organization is 'positive' towards health and safety.

	Taking the definition of the positive safety culture model (BSD Professionals, David Tan, 2010), behavioral safety program is a systematic approach to maintain and support safe patterns of behavior at work whilst reinforcing changes to unsafe individuals/ group behaviors. While all occupational safety programs must be initialed by top management, behavioral safety program focuses more on the shop floor personnel. This, however does not mean that top management can sit in their offices and leave the workers to manage safety at work. The top has to make reasonable decisions by changing the environment to support safe behaviors.
	Why Behavioral Safety? Most accidents are caused by unsafe practices. Despite the health and safety management system, safe work procedures, engineering controls and permit-to-work system, controlling unsafe practices can be difficult. The reason for this is that unsafe practices involve the Human Mindsets about hazard(s), that is, they occur as a result of people's attitudes and behaviors towards occupational safety. This course offers a way to reduce the incidence of unsafe practices by modifying people's behaviors, improving their attitudes towards a conscious culture, integrate behavioral safety program into health and safety management system.
