Geller 7-9 Behavior

Review

• Safety triad?
• Behavior, environment, person
• Person variables?
• BASIC ID
• Act people into changing their thinking?
• Difference between proactive and reactive?
• Moving from failure-oriented to
  achievement-oriented
• Safety share at the start of meetings, report
  something youve done for safety in the past week

Types of Learning

• Classical conditioning
• Respondent conditioning
• After pairing a CS and UCS repeatedly, the CS
  comes to elicit a CR that resembles the UCR.
• Operant conditioning
• Behaviors (operants) are a function of
  consequences
• Vicarious learning behavior change through
  seeing consequences applied for someone elses
  behavior
• Most types of learning are operant, including
  vicarious learning

4
DO IT

• D define critical target behaviors
• O observe the target behavior during baseline
• I intervene develop a behavior change
  strategy
• T test the impact of the behavior change
  strategy

5
Observing

• S specific, concise behavioral definition
• O observable, overt behaviors, countable and
  recordable
• O objective, no interpretations
• N naturalistic, normal interaction, real-world
  activity

6
Checklist Options

• Comprehensive list vs small list of behaviors
• Shorter CBC may involve little or no verbal
  feedback (most published studies of BBS)
• SBOs?
• Safe behavior opportunity a chance to observe
  the target behaviors. Dont observe people,
  observe behavior.

7
Behavioral Safety Analysis

• Discrepancy, not deficiency
• GAP analysis analyze and reduce the gap between
  ideal and current behavior (Gilbert)
• Causes of discrepancy
• State the discrepancy
• Is change necessary?
• Can the task be simplified?
• Are expectations clear?
• Is behavior-based feedback available?
• What are the natural consequences?
• Is there a skill discrepancy? (Unconsciously
  incomp.)
• Is the person right for the job?
• What kind of training is needed?
• Maintenance vs acquisition
• Which solutions yield the most for the least
  effort?

8
BBS Safety Training

• Education versus training?
• Types of behavior
• Other-directed
• Automatic (habits)
• Self-directed
• Intervention types
• Instructional intervention - acquisition
• Supportive intervention - practice
• Motivational intervention
