Achieving Behavioural Change
Course Description
Achieving Behavioural Change (ABC) provides an understanding of how poor attitude and behaviour can affect the chance of an accident occurring in the workplace.
Who Should Attend
For the ABC Course to be successful, attendees should come from all levels within an organisation, i.e. a good mix of managers, supervisors and workers. Minimum numbers for the course to run are six, ideally this should be run as an ‘in-house’ course and as a result we do not offer it as an open event.
Course Content
The course can be applied to any construction situation. It features the use of the point of work ‘dynamic’ assessment STAARR (Stop, Think, Assess, Act, Report and Review) and TASK (Think first, Act safe, Stop if hazardous and Keep safe) card. It encourages participants to capture and apply the ‘9Cs’ (Communication and Consultation enables Co-operation, Co-ordination, Collaboration, Control and Competence, establishing a Culture and Commitment at all levels). The course materials include a PowerPoint presentation; eight separate exercises (some of which use film clips), and an end-of-course test. The course is designed to be simple, free flowing and interactive with clear, jargon-free slides that present the main points.
Assessment & Award
The course assessment consists of nine questions incorporating a maximum of 25 answers, covering all aspects of the course. The pass mark is 15 out of 25 (60%) for ‘Site Workforce’ and 20 out of 25 (80%) for ‘Management and Supervisors’. Successful candidates will receive the ABC certificate which is valid for 5 years.

A Polite Notice
It pays to be selective when booking training courses because not all training providers are what they appear to be. When booking a Achieving Behavioural Change Course you need to feel assured that your training provider is fully accredited to provide that training and is not then going to sub-contract the work. Lighthouse Safety Training are fully accredited by CITB-ConstructionSkills to provide the Achieving Behavioural Change course and proof of that accreditation can be seen at our accreditation page.

The interaction and explanations Andy gave to different areas, it was a very good course and I would recommend more people to do it.
Bison Manufacturing July 2010 (ABC Course)
We found this course broke down the percieved barriers in communication, and helped us develop a clear understanding of each others needs. We now engage more freely, which has seen a noticable business improvement in safety culture and productivity. Thanks.
