Course Description:

This course introduces Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) as a practical, human-centered approach to understanding how everyday decisions and actions influence shipboard safety outcomes. It covers core BBS concepts, the six pillars, guiding principles, and practical techniques for observing behaviors, providing feedback, and promoting a proactive safety culture.

Course Description:

This course examines common at-risk behaviors across critical shipboard operations and how BBS helps identify and interrupt unsafe behavioral patterns before incidents occur. It covers risk-prone activities such as mooring, deck work, cargo handling, and watchkeeping, supported by case-based learning to promote safer behaviors onboard.

Course Description:

This course explains the core principles and models of Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) and how they influence safety performance onboard. It covers observable behaviors, consequences, feedback mechanisms, the ABC model, behavior pyramid, and Geller’s Do-It process.

Course Description:

This course explores how human nature, limitations, and perceptions impact behavior and decision-making in maritime operations. It examines how operational pressures contribute to risk-taking, human error, and the distinction between changeable and non-changeable behaviors.

Course Description:

This course focuses on the practical steps required to deploy and integrate a Behavior-Based Safety system onboard ships. It covers observation techniques, objective behavior monitoring, feedback and coaching, daily integration, and continuous improvement.

Course Description:

This course addresses the challenges of implementing Behavior-Based Safety in real shipboard environments. It explores strategies to overcome resistance, build trust, and apply BBS through practical scenarios and case-based learning.

Course Description:

This course examines how leadership, communication, and daily behaviors contribute to building a strong safety culture onboard. It emphasizes peer responsibility, accountability, and learning through real maritime case studies.

Course Description:

This course introduces the OCIMF framework for developing and managing behavioral competence in maritime operations. It covers competency management, the OCIMF matrix, relevant frameworks, checklists, and integration of BBS and BBC principles.

Course Description:

This course explains how OCIMF best practices are applied to assess behavioral competence onboard ships. It covers structured observation, drills, objective evaluation methods, and the use of scenarios such as blackout drills.

Course Description:

This course develops skills to recognize unsafe conditions and take timely action using Stop Work Authority (SWA). It covers risk awareness, roles and responsibilities, and effective intervention techniques to prevent incidents.

Course Description:

This course explains how key safety tools support Behavior-Based Safety in daily operations. It covers Job Safety Analysis (JSA), toolbox talks, and near-miss reporting to strengthen hazard awareness, communication, and safe work practices.

Course Description:

This course defines the role of onboard assessors in evaluating and improving safety behaviors. It focuses on observation, objective assessment, coaching techniques, and challenges of applying BBS at sea.

Course Description:

This course develops behavioral assessment skills through real-life maritime case studies. It covers scenarios across deck, navigation, cargo, mooring, and engineering operations to improve observation and evaluation practices.
