We often refer to the ABC Model when discussing “Behavior Based Safety.” ABC stands for Antecedent ⇒ Behavior ⇒ Consequence
- An antecedent comes before a behavior and may trigger that behavior.
- A behavior is what/how the individual does an action. (good or bad).
- A consequence is something that follows the behavior (good or bad).
So, an OSHA citation could be considered a “consequence” (i.e., a Latent Organizational Failure) of failing to meet OSHA minimum standard(s). So I ask…
Do OSHA citations change management’s behavior?
