Introduction
B-Safe is a behavioural observation programme aimed
at encouraging safe Behavior and changing unsafe
behavior among employee participating in the project.
80-90% of all accidents are caused by unsafe behavior.
B-Safe believe that if unsafe behavior are observed and
change effected, that will be more productive approach
to the reduction of near miss and accident on our
construction site. The major focus of B-Safe is YOU as
individual going home as sound as you came to work
yesterday.

Objectives
a) To encourage safe behaviors by group or individual.
b) To change unsafe behaviour thereby reducing incident.
c) To adopt a more proactive approach towards safety.
d) Increase individual attention towards safety.
e) The observers provide a fresh pair of eye for the
individual work group and report unfavourable condition.
4
Who Is An Observer
A B-Safe observer is an employee nominated by his section,

trained by HSE Team and given the necessary paper work to
observe and report condition and behavior within his work location.
A B-Safe observer is not a safety officer; his will assist safety
officer by carrying out their daily observation while doing their
routine task. An observer is not above his work, his work mate or
his supervisor, he is not a Company spy. All observers should
behave as people trained to help make the work site a safe place
or work.
5
When Do We Observe
Observation should be done while jobs are in progress
and report forms completed at the peak of the work.
Unsafe conditions observed should be pointed out to the
work crew and to supervisor for changes to be made.
Observers should not abandon their work area and move
about during working hour and pretend to be doing
observation.
6
How Do We Observe
Record all observation on your daily checklist
provided, only record what you see, “DON’T GUESS”.
Remember, the score will come back to you and your
Company, and it will help to indicate the correct level
of safety in your work. If you have any comment, write
it on the comment side of the checklist, don’t write
what you did not see “Help us to help you”

b) Help conducting Job Safety Analysis

Briefing
c) Remind work crew of safety
d) Report observations daily

/ supervisors and HSE officers.
f) To encourage everyone to behave

safely

Environmental Management
ENVIRONMENT: Surroundings in which an organization

operates, including air, water, land, natural resources, flora,
fauna, humans and their interrelation.
a) As B-safe observers one of our duty is to help and protect

our work environment, by reporting anything that can cause
harm or contaminate the environment.
b) Help prevent environmental pollution and to achieve “Zero”

environmental accident target, by reporting to your
supervisor or site HSE officers of any of the followings:

Environmental
a) Spillage of any kind
b) Soil contamination of any kind
c) Unsegregated Waste
 Spillage: Letting out a liquid or chemical through leakage or damage
of container that allow flow into ground or underground water
contamination. This can cause damage to human, soil, water, air
and the environment.
 Waste: Our policy is to manage waste from cradle grave. Every
waste need to be segregated at source to enable a good
management of the waste or recycling.
 Contamination: Improper management of waste and spillage can
lead to contamination of soil, air, underground water, which can
affect our environment.
