Exercise Instruction

A practical exercise is designed to understand how to calculate safe and at-risk behavior at the workplace. You can choose any activity from your workplace and develop a checklist for observation. A sample checklist is attached for your reference along with the formula on how to calculate safe behavior. 

Below is a sample behavior observation checklist for carrying out electrical maintenance work. Check the complete procedure in the next topic and perform the exercise at your workplace to get hands-on experience. 

Number of observation done = 4

Behavior
Yes (Number)
No (Number)
Wearing the necessary PPE for the electrical task 
31
Using lock-out/tag-out prior to performing maintenance
22
Shutting off the supply before removing the panel
10
Remove the faulty part using both hands
43
Total 
106

Once the observations are complete, calculate the percentage frequency of the safe acts. You can do this for a specific department or a specific task. 

Calculation of % safe acts = Number safe acts/ Number of safe acts + number unsafe acts 

  • Calculation of % safe acts = 10/ 10+5  

  • Calculation of % safe acts = 10/ 15

Calculation of % safe acts = 0.67
