Driving Safety Performance and Business Resilience in India’s Agro and Food-Processing Industries: Integrating Safety Culture, Behaviors-Based Safety and Proactive Risk Management
Abstract: Food-processing safety depends on more than machinery safeguards, statutory compliance and written procedures. It is also shaped by leadership priorities, worker participation, supervisory practice, reporting climate and everyday decisions at the point of work. Behaviors-Based Safety (BBS) offers a structured means of observing critical behaviors, providing feedback and generating operational learning, but it can become counterproductive when it individualizes blame or substitutes for engineering and process-safety controls. This conceptual review …
