During the 80’s and 90’s Dr Thomas Krause and his colleagues were at the forefront of applying behavioural sciences to the area of workplace safety. It was a global phenomenon helping thousands of organisations implement something that became known as Behaviour Based Safety (BBS)
In 2010, dr. Thomas Krause led a groundbreaking study on Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIFs). This study demonstrated that only a small subset of all accidents have the potential to result in a SIF event. This principle is by now often referenced as the triangle within the triangle.
Additionally, we have learned that the precursors to SIFs differ significantly from those associated with minor incidents. With this realisation, how does this impact the BBS approach? What lessons could be learnt and is there now a different role that BBS should take?
At Krause Bell Group we know that leaders often fail to fully grasp how their behaviours and decisions influence not just systems, but also the surrounding context and organisational culture. They may not recognise how these systems, contexts, and cultures shape employee behaviours. Furthermore, if their BBS approach fails to provide them with sufficient feedback on SIF exposures a gap will be created with informing their future decision.
How can we fix this and move a BBS process to be more effective in strategically reducing risks? How can we help leaders focus on what matters most?
During this webinar we will discuss taking the four building blocks of BBS and applying them to specifically target the triangle within the triangle, providing leaders the right data to help them prevent serious incidents. The discussion will take place with a small group of senior safety and operational leaders.
Seats are limited!
Please Note: This event is specifically designed for safety leaders who are working to eliminate Serious Injuries and Fatalities within their organizations. We respectfully request that independent consultants and employees of safety consulting firms not participate in this event.

The 2010 study on Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIFs), led by dr. Thomas Krause, demonstrated that only a small subset of all accidents have the potential to result in a SIF event. This principle is by now often referenced to as the triangle within the triangle. Additionally, we have learned that the precursors to SIFs differ significantly from those associated with minor incidents.
At Krause Bell Group, our work on SIF prevention starts with the fundamental premise: if we want to prevent fatalities, we must reduce SIF exposure. Any effort we undertake—whether through training, standards, EHS systems, or leadership development—will only be effective if it reduces or eliminates SIF exposure. However, achieving this is easier said than done. Culture, leadership behaviours and decisions have a profound impact.
Culture – the way we do things around here – “eats strategy for breakfast,” and often reduces the effectiveness of these initiatives significantly. While leaders often want to do the right thing, they frequently lack the knowledge or tools to act effectively.
Leaders often fail to fully grasp how their behaviors and decisions influence not just systems, but also the surrounding context and organizational culture. They may not recognize how these systems, contexts, and cultures shape employee behaviors, nor do they receive sufficient feedback on SIF exposures and the broader systems and culture to inform their future decision.
How can we fix this and implement a systematic, effective process to strategically reduce risk? Leaders must first develop a thorough understanding of the key risks within their areas of responsibility. They also need to recognize how their decisions impact those risks and take deliberate action to address them.
During this webinar we will discuss 6 steps leaders should follow to prevent serious incidents. The discussion will take place with a small group of senior safety and operational leaders.

ONLINE DISCUSSION: If your culture could talk - The importance of culture in fatality prevention
2025-01-29 11:00 - 12:30 (Europe/Amsterdam)
There is a lot of talk about safety culture. But it raises often more questions than answers:

What do we mean by safety culture?
Why is it important?
How is the safety culture different from organisational culture?
How do you change culture?

We will be answering these and many more questions in our online discussion with a small group of senior safety and operational leaders .

Nobody Must Die: Getting attention on fatality prevention before IT happens.
2024-03-05 08:00 - 09:30 (America/Los_Angeles)
Senior EHS and operations leaders who understand risk feel frustrated when they struggle to get steady attention of the rest of the organization. We often hear, “Our leaders are committed to ‘doing the right thing’, but still don’t give fatality prevention the attention that is required.”
Since its inception, Krause Bell Group has made significant advances on serious incident and fatality (SIF) prevention and has new techniques for gaining – and keeping – focus of the senior leadership team and the rest of the organization too. Join Tom Krause, Rebecca Timmins, and Rosa Bravo for this curated discussion. Discover how we are helping frontline, middle and senior leaders engage on a whole new level.
