    The document discusses behavior-based safety programs called LIFE/LIGHTS that were implemented at industrial sites from 1992-present. It shows their programs led to reductions in total accidents, injury rates, and workers compensation costs. The primary concepts are that behavior-based safety is an ongoing process of employee involvement, measurement, and problem-solving to develop safer behaviors and habits rather than relying on traditional safety methods like training and policies. Implementing behavior-based safety successfully requires management support, employee trust, resources, and ongoing commitment to continuous improvement over time.
