Understand why people behave as they do.
Rules and procedures only work if people follow them. IOSH Approved Behavioural Science for Leadership in Safety shows leaders how behaviour is shaped, why people take shortcuts, and how to encourage safe behaviour that lasts.
It is practical and evidence-based, suits leaders and supervisors in any industry, and works especially well as a next step after a formal health and safety course.
The course explained.
Want the full picture before you enquire? Ask us for the course information pack.
Most organisations reach a point where better rules and equipment no longer improve performance, because the remaining risk lies in how people behave. Behavioural science helps explain that behaviour and change it.
The course covers safety leadership, the difference between avoiding failure and creating excellence, the key drivers of behaviour, ABC analysis of what triggers and reinforces actions, and how to set goals that people commit to. It finishes with a short test and a written task applying what you have learned.
