Behaviour Based Safety for Mining Operations

Introduces behaviour based safety principles adapted for mining workplaces, helping supervisors and safety teams observe work practices, provide constructive feedback and reinforce safe behaviour on the shop floor. Explores how to build observation programmes that complement existing safety management systems without replacing engineering and procedural controls.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain the principles of behaviour based safety within a mining context.
  • Conduct structured safety observations of workers and work practices.
  • Deliver constructive feedback that reinforces safe behaviour choices.
  • Design an observation programme that fits existing safety structures.
  • Analyse observation data to identify recurring at risk behaviours.
  • Integrate behaviour based safety findings into broader risk management processes.
