All of the comments made in the left-hand column above represent our concerns over what practitioners in behavior-based safety have said or written or over what they have not recognized as fundamental and significant. For example, some of those practitioners state in their speeches and papers that 85%, 90%, or 95% of accidents are caused principally by unsafe acts. No matter what definitions they give for the term unsafe act, they immediately moved from those figures to addressing means for resolving the at-risk behavior of employees through behavior modification methods, with minimum or no consideration of systems causal factors. That s absurd.
