AB  - The application of behaviour-based safety in the construction industry has been limited. The objective of this research is to provide a decision support system, which will assist construction companies in implementing behaviour-based safety. The research was carried out by performing a detailed review of the existing literature on the topic and carrying out a pilot study to verify the validity of the model. As a part of the model a rating system has been developed which can quantify and evaluate the performance of different sub-contractors working for the primary contractor. The results showed that an adequate improvement in safety performance is possible with this approach. Most of the groups participating in the study showed an improvement in at least three of the safety-based behaviours. Some groups showed improvement in more than six behaviours.
