•Behaviors that have consequences that are:
•Soon

25. Why is one sign often ignored, the
other one often followed?

26. Human Behavior
•Certain
•A consequence that iscertainto follow a behavior has more
influence than an uncertain or unpredictable consequence
•Corrective Action must be:
–Prompt
–Consistent
–Persistent
•Positive
•Apositive consequence influences behavior more powerfully than a
negative consequence
•Penalties and Punishment don’t work
•Soon
•A consequence that followssoonafter a behavior has a stronger influence
than consequences that occur later
•Silence is considered to be consent
•Failure to correct unsafe behavior influences employees to continue the
behavior
COURTESY KGG HSE DEPT

27. Human Behavior
•Example:Smokers find it hard to stop smoking
because the consequences are:
A) Soon(immediate)
B) Certain (they happen every time)
C) Positive(a nicotine high)
The other consequences are:
A) Late(years later)
B) Uncertain(not all smokers get lung cancer)
C) Negative(lung cancer)
The soon, certain, positivereinforcement from unsafe
behavior outweighs the uncertain, late, negative
reinforcement from inconsistent punishment

area where the condition is observed
