[Training means to get skills: a comparison between D.Lgs. 81/08 and B-BS].
The 81/08 Decree gives a strategic role to the processes that provide information, knowledge and training, regarded as fundamental measures to improve health and safety conditions in the workplace. The most important aim of health and safety training is to acquire skills to carry on duties according to safety principles in the company. Competence consists of the possession and application of integrated knowledge, skills and behaviors. To achieve these results, it is essential the desire of the organization, at all levels, to invest on learning and development, highlighting the benefits arising from the adoption of safe behavior by workers. Different methodologies contribute to this aim, including those developed within the behavioral sciences, such as the Behavior-Based Safety (B-BS), which is based on the development of safe behaviors, through the implementation of a registration system for behavior, feedback and positive consequences. This report will make a comparison between the elements that characterize health and safety training provided by the D. Lgs. 81/08 and the enforcement of protocols for B-BS in companies.
