Behaviour Based Safety in South Africa

SafetyWallet helps organisations build a sustainable Behaviour Based Safety programme by combining the Mindset Evaluation Schema, Triple P, and OHS Online into one practical safety system.

Root
MES shapes beliefs, attitudes and risk thinking
Structure
Triple P strengthens policies, procedures and practices
Execution
OHS Online drives daily action, tracking and reporting

MES

Builds the root drivers of behaviour through beliefs, mindset, values, and perception of risk.

Triple P

Turns expected safety behaviour into a repeatable structure through policies, procedures and practices.

OHS Online

Makes the BBS programme visible every day through inspections, task-based risk assessments, training and action tracking.

Traditional BBS often focuses on the fruit, not the root

Many organisations try to improve safety by observing behaviour on the surface. Lasting change happens when mindset, structure and daily execution work together.

Observation alone is not enough

Recording unsafe acts without changing the thinking behind them leads to repeat behaviour under pressure.

Warnings do not reshape beliefs

Unsafe behaviour starts deeper than the surface and often reflects attitudes, norms and risk perception.

Training fades without system support

Behaviour change needs clear procedures, leadership visibility and daily reinforcement to stick.

Safety improves when mindset, structure and action work together

SafetyWallet unites all three so organisations move from reactive observation to sustainable culture.

The SafetyWallet model

One Behaviour Based Safety architecture. Three integrated engines.

SafetyWallet brings mindset development, structured systems and digital execution together in one practical Behaviour Based Safety approach.

MES

The root of behaviour. MES helps organisations understand how beliefs, attitudes, values and perception of risk shape daily safety choices.

  • Belief and attitude awareness
  • Risk thinking and mindset support
  • Root-to-Fruit coaching logic

Triple P

The structure behind safe behaviour. Triple P turns intent into repeatable policies, procedures and practices that support execution.

  • Policies that define expectations
  • Procedures that standardise action
  • Practices that reinforce daily habits

OHS Online

The execution layer. OHS Online brings the programme to life through task-based risk assessments, inspections, action management, dashboards and evidence.

  • Daily safety actions and reminders
  • Inspections and action closure
  • Reports, trends and accountability

Build the roots. Strengthen the structure. Produce safer fruit.

Safety performance improves when values, beliefs and attitudes are supported by strong systems and daily action.
