FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Common questions about our BBS implementation service. Find quick answers below.

How are observers selected and trained?

Supervisors and champions are nominated by leadership and trained on structured observation, quality conversations and coaching techniques before they begin observations.

How is BBS different from compliance audits?

BBS is a non-punitive, conversation-led approach focused on everyday behaviours and barriers, whereas compliance audits check adherence against fixed standards and checklists.

What happens after the 12 months?

Ownership is transferred to your internal teams with a documented handover, dashboards and training materials, and CoSafe EHS remains available for periodic reviews and refresher support.
