Implementing Behavior-Based Safety for Mining Operations.

PB2019100309

Publication Date	2001
Personal Author	Geller, E. S.; Hickman, J.; Click-Keeny, R.
Page Count	529
Abstract	This two-year research project developed and delivered a behavioral safety training program for mining operations, and tested implementations of the basic procedures of behavior based safety at several mining operations. In addition, a safety culture survey was refined and administered at mining sites to assess readiness to implement an interdependent observation and feedback process. Property damage was explored as an upstream proactive measure of safety performance and a tool for preventing workplace injuries.
