Safety is often defined as the absence of accidents. However, there is a fundamental difference between the absence of insecurity/safety (a negative definition) and actually working safely (a positive definition).
Within Brain Based Safety, we define safety as having control: control over what happens in the work process. Control means that processes run as intended and expected. When this control decreases or is lost, the likelihood of errors, disruptions, and accidents increases. Strengthening and maintaining control is therefore the key to safety.
To maintain control, it is essential to understand where, when, and why control can be lost. Behavior plays a crucial role in this. The majority of our behavior occurs unconsciously, based on routines, habits, and previous experiences. Conscious choices play only a limited role, especially in complex situations or those involving time pressure.
Brain Based Safety theory explains how behavior arises, why people do what they do (or choose not to do), and how this behavior can be influenced. In addition, based on extensive literature research, several so-called leading indicators have been identified. These are factors that predict how people are likely to behave in the future. Employee perception is crucial here. Not what is formally defined, but how employees experience reality, determines their behavior.
By measuring these perceptions and using the results as a starting point for dialogue, a powerful instrument emerges to gain control over behavior, and thus over safety and performance.
