About the course

What this course covers.

Most workplace incidents are foreseeable and preventable, and inquiries into them keep finding the same thing - an at-risk behaviour that nobody changed in time. Behaviour-Based Safety treats that behaviour as the thing to work on. This course gives workers the tools to spot at-risk behaviour and change it before it causes an injury.

The course works through the ABC model of behaviour and the consequence matrix, the factors that influence behaviour, and how self-awareness shapes it. It covers habit formation and the habit loop, breaking bad habits and building good ones, what behaviour-based safety is, and the four steps to changing behaviour through the Do It system. It finishes with the types of safety cultures, the challenges of improving a safety culture, and practical strategies for building an effective one.

Companies use the course to give workers and supervisors a shared language for behaviour and safety culture, and to give a documented training record.

What learners say

Trusted by Canadian crews

4.2 / 5 from 982 learner reviews
  • This gave our whole crew the same language for behaviour. The habit-loop section is the part that makes the change feel possible instead of preachy.

    Nicole F.

    Health and Safety Manager

  • The four-step model is practical. It moved our safety conversations from blame to actually changing the behaviour.

    Brent A.

    Site Supervisor

  • Good grounding in safety culture. The consequence matrix explained a lot about why some of our rules were being ignored.

Certificate and format

How the course runs

Your certificate

A mark of 80 percent earns the certificate, and the course can be taken up to three times to reach the pass mark. On completion the worker downloads and prints a certificate of completion.

  • Fully online and self-paced - about 75 minutes of content
  • Mobile-friendly - start on a laptop, finish on a phone
  • Instant access as soon as the course is purchased
  • Suitable for workers and supervisors at every level
  • Pass mark is 80 percent, with up to three attempts

Why it matters for compliance

Behaviour-Based Safety is not a regulatory requirement, but it supports the safety management system a COR audit examines. The course gives workers a documented training record and a shared approach to the at-risk behaviour behind most preventable incidents.

Common questions

Questions buyers ask

How much does the Behaviour-Based Safety course cost?

The course is 79.99 CAD per seat. Use code ONTRACK10 at checkout for 10 percent off an individual purchase, or set up a free On-Track Safety corporate account for 20 percent off every course for the first three months when training a crew.

How long does the course take?

The course is about 75 minutes of content and is fully self-paced, so it can be completed in one sitting or across a couple of shorter sessions without losing your place.

Does the BBS certificate expire?

What is the ABC model of behaviour?

The ABC model looks at the Antecedents that trigger a behaviour, the Behaviour itself, and the Consequences that follow it. The course uses it to explain why at-risk behaviour persists and how to change it.

Who is the course for?

It is built for workers and supervisors at every level - anyone who can spot and influence at-risk behaviour - and for safety committees building a behaviour-based safety program.
