FAQs

See frequently asked questions (FAQs) about ERA's BBS Observation software. 

How much does ERA's BBSO software cost?
ERA's BBSO and near miss module, part of its Health & Safety management suite, starts at only $39 USD/year for a single user account.
What is the best way to efficiently handle BBSO Safety?

With our Behavior-Based Safety Software, you can efficiently handle all aspects of behavioral safety and behavior-based safety programs. 

How can I make BBSO easier for employees?
A BBSO program can only be effective if employees get on board. Reducing barriers and implementing easy-to-use workflows will encourage employees to make observations more readily. Mobile access is at the top of the list, letting employees make reports from anywhere instead of seeking out a desktop computer later. Solutions should implement clear checklists and simple categories to avoid any hesitation or confusion when entering observations. Employees are more likely to participate in a safety culture when they have the right resources available.
Does ERA's BBSO Software Support the Entire Safety Process?

Our software supports the entire Behavior-Based Safety Process, from:

  • Behavior-Based Safety Checklists
  • BBS Observation

Covering every aspect of behavioral safety.

How can near-miss reporting help prevent serious incidents?
Near miss reporting makes it possible to capture warning signs before they lead to harm. Having your employees document any unsafe conditions, risky behaviors, gaps, or other concerns lets your team identify patterns and assign corrective actions as early as possible. A consistent approach can turn everyday observations into valuable prevention data that supports stronger health and safety performance.
How can supervisors follow up on BBSO?
Supervisors must also be involved for effective BBSO. They must review observations and assign tasks for follow-up, along with tracking and verifying completion. BBSO software that implements these steps in a structured workflow helps ensure that observations are actually acted on to improve safety. BBSO software features like automated notifications, built-in audit trails, and dashboards help supervisors stay on top of their near-miss reporting and BBSO programs.
How does mobile BBSO reporting help field and shop floor teams?
Mobile BBSO reporting lets employees capture observations where work actually occurs. Waiting for paper forms or desktop entry increases the risk of errors and can ultimately lead to employees foregoing reporting entirely. With the right mobile BBSO app, teams can record details, attach context, and submit reports then and there. They create complete, audit-ready records that provide the most accurate insights into a given hazard or issue.
