Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) is all about keeping people safe at work by focusing on what they do every day and helping them make safer choices. It’s like having a teammate who watches out for you, spotting risky moves and cheering you on when you get it right. Rooted in behavioral psychology, BBS encourages noticing habits that could lead to trouble, share feedback, and build a workplace where safety feels natural. From its start in the late 1970s, BBS has grown from simple observation checklists to a dynamic approach blending tech—like apps and wearable sensors with a deeper look at leadership and culture.

Today, it’s evolving with trends like predictive analytics to catch risks early, virtual coaching for real-time support, and a focus on the whole team, not just individuals. Used in places like factories and construction sites, BBS cuts accidents by making safety a shared mission, proving that small changes in how we act can lead to big wins for everyone

This presentation will explore the essential aspects of radiation safety in industrial settings from the perspective of regulatory authorities. Industrial applications of ionizing radiation are crucial for national development, yet they require stringent oversight to ensure the protection of workers, the public, and the environment.

The discussion will detail Bahrain’s national regulatory framework, focusing on the Supreme Council for Environment’s (SCE) mandate, particularly Law No. 7 of 2022 regarding Environment. Key elements will include the rigorous licensing and authorization processes necessary for controlling and tracking radiation sources.
A significant emphasis will be placed on proactive regulatory oversight mechanisms, which are vital for upholding safety standards and preventing incidents. Additionally, the role of regulators in fostering a robust radiation safety culture within industrial organizations will be highlighted.

By illustrating how a vigilant and adaptive regulatory body functions as a cornerstone in safeguarding against radiation hazards, this presentation aims to underscore a collective commitment to promoting sustainable industrial development and maintaining the highest standards of radiation protection.
