BBS Kit - Section 5: Resources

Resources

As these programs become more widespread, so too do resources and articles debunking them.  Take a look at some of the material available:

  • On this site: Nancy Lessin BBS - A Union Viewpoint

  • Behavioural Safety Approaches To Managing Health and Safety - Papers from the ACTU Seminar, May 2005.  Speakers who provided papers include Andrea Shaw, Dr Verna Bluett, Professor Andrew Hopkins, as well as from Mr Lloyd Fletcher Principal Consultant, B-Safe Australia, a company promoting BBS programs.

  • Professor Andrew Hopkins: “What are we to make of safe behaviour programs?”   Working Paper 36,  National Research Centre for OHS Regulation [pdf]

  • From the US the Steelworkers' Union report, 'Not walking the talk: DuPont's untold safety failures' [pdf ] on the real OHS performance of DuPont - creators of one of the world's most widespread Behaviour Based Safety Programs, STOP.  Also check out  the USW DuPont council webpages and a new website Dupont Safety Revealed

  • Excellent trade union resources on Behaviour Based Programs are available through Hazards Magazine, a terrific resource supported by the UK's peak union council the TUC.  Unions and union OHS reps should subscribe to it.
