Welcome to the August 2023 episode of CORESafety TV on how to minimize unsafe behavior in your mining operation (Module #15).

Many mining incidents can be traced in one form or another to unsafe behaviors of workers on the job. When you optimize human behaviors, you’re less likely to have the potential for increased injuries and accidents.

CORESafety’s Module #15 explains how most experts believe human behavior is primarily controlled by the “ABC model” of Activator – Behavior – Consequence.

People behave the way they do because they are activated to do so, largely by memories or prior experiences. Their behavior is a reflection of their knowledge, training and competence, and can be intentional or unintentional. Most of us are often motivated to repeat a behavior by the consequences we’ve experienced from previous behaviors.

It’s important to educate employees on the causes of safe and unsafe behavior (using the ABC model), how to control their own behavior, and when and how to intervene with co-workers.

2. Developing an observation and feedback process.

3. Emphasizing how to control behavior and intervene with co-workers.
