Article Abstract:

Safety professionals and behavioral safety experts have identified the seven most common reasons why employees take risks. Although experts have different approaches to behavior-based safety, they agree on the importance of removing environmental risks and barriers that compromise safe behavior. Moreover, a behavior-based safety can only be effective when it is part of a more comprehensive strategy of intervention for discouraging risk-taking.
