ACT now against unsafe, unhealthy behaviour at
work
The Achieving Behaviour Change
Toolkit (ACT) brings together, in one online
resource, everything you need to improve the health and safety
behaviours of all staff, including sub contractors and the whole
supply chain. Using the toolkit helps you to achieve sustainable
behaviour change, resulting in a safer working environment and a
reduction in lost time injury days.
ACT is a framework that helps you structure your behaviour
change initiative by taking you through a series of steps:
Step 1 Assess your current
health and safety performance
Step 2 Prepare your organisation
for a behaviour change initiative
Step 3 Identify key workplace
risks and associated safe and unsafe behaviours
Step 4 Determine the root cause
of safe and unsafe behaviours using worker involvement
Step 5 Create an action plan encompassing
key ingredients of behaviour change
Step 6 Monitor,
Review and Maintain change by
developing an evaluation strategy
The toolkit can also be tailored to your specific circumstances
and current level of health and safety performance, helping you to
target resources better and avoiding wasted time and money.
ACT has been developed by the Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL)
based on the latest evidence and best practice on what does and
does not work with respect to changing behaviour. HSL is a part of
HSE and has a strong track record in research, training and
consultancy in the field of behaviour change, so
