Research Focus

Did you know that Behavior Based Safety (BBS) is considered the best studied and most effective method for changing behavior in the field of occupational safety and that the FHWS is conducting research on this?

On this website we would like to introduce you to everything about the research focus on BBS at FHWS. Last year, the project "Behavior Based Safety (BBS) - Safe Behavior among Rescue Workers" was completed, which was funded by the German Federal and Railway Accident Insurance (UVB). In two selected rescue stations of the DRK, the BBS methods were empirically tested and led to an increase in occupational safety. We would like to transfer these findings to other occupational groups. The focus is on activities with an increased accident and health risk.
