A review on behavioral based safety implementation and safety performance in firework manufacturing industries

Events at fire-making plants pose a serious hazard to society because of their terrible consequences. Several mishaps have been documented in Indian fireworks production facilities during production, packaging, and shipment. The majority of fatal fire works accidents occur in the loading and blending stages. Mistakes are determined to be caused mostly by mechanical factors and chemical reactions. All of the workshops, seminars, plans, regulations and signs posted on the wall for safety regulations will be insignificant if there is not a culture of safety instilled in fireworks factories and fireworks communities. This can especially be an issue in countries where a majority of workers have only had access to basic levels of education and training. BBS is one technique to dealing with workers risk concerns that has proven to be beneficial. A company’s organizational culture, or corporate culture, is created in large by its employee’s attitudes and beliefs. This holds true for any company, including fireworks factories. The correct and continuous attitude towards safety is critical to prevent incidents. The development of habits to identify safety and risky behaviors on site could result in the long term in a greater culture of workplace safety. This paper discusses workplace strategies to measure attitudes towards safety by performing “Antecedent Behavior Consequence” (ABC) analysis that can help to minimize risk and also promote awareness of problems and changes needed.
