Behaviour-Based Safety Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply the principles of behaviour-based safety to identify and analyse critical safety behaviours in the workplace.
• Demonstrate the ability to conduct safety observations and provide constructive feedback to improve safe behaviours.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of behaviour-based safety interventions using data and feedback.
• Design a behaviour-based safety implementation plan tailored to the workplace context.
• Implement strategies to overcome barriers to behaviour-based safety and sustain positive safety culture.
• Analyse the role of leadership and employee involvement in the success of behaviour-based safety programmes.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practicals are essential to develop observation, feedback, and data analysis skills. Learners will practice conducting observations in simulated environments, providing feedback, and analysing data to make informed decisions.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Observation Skills and Checklist Design — Learners practice conducting observations using checklists in a simulated workplace, then design their own checklist for a specific task. (5h)
• Practical 2: Feedback and Communication — Role-play scenarios where learners give and receive feedback on observed behaviours, focusing on constructive and non-confrontational communication. (5h)
• Practical 3: Data Analysis and Intervention Planning — Using provided observation data, learners analyse trends, identify problem behaviours, and develop intervention plans. (5h)
• Practical 4: BBS Implementation Simulation — In groups, learners simulate the implementation of a BBS process in a mock company, including planning, stakeholder engagement, and rollout. (5h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.
