Here are the top ten ways they found to maintain the success of their behavior based safety initiatives: 

10. Build a successful safety committee the most important element of which is the involvement of front line supervisory management.    

9. Don’t Link Discipline to an observation  

8.  Periodic Refresher Training

7. Collect and evaluate the data by developing a good database of leading indicators

6. Communicate and use the data on an often basis

5. Recognize employee participation

4. Recognize Employee Contributions

3. Supervisory Involvement

2. Share and discuss specific observations

1. Top Management Commitment

Executive management has the power to make or break the safety program. The most successful and enduring programs have top management commitment. Get them involved in kick-off sessions and in the initial training with their subordinates.  When top management shows and believes that safety is important to them, it will be believed and be important to all levels of personnel.
