" The SBP is within the HSE policy of Sonatrach Group and more specifically the responsibility of the human factor in the occurrence of accidents. IAP, subsidiary and training tool of Sonatrach group is in charge of this programme designed by the Norwegian oil and gas company StatoilHydro.  2- SBP objective: : The SBP aims to establish a culture of prevention and vigilance to prevent the risk of accidents. For this purpose, it tackles a complex area, which is the aim of changing the mentality. This change in mentality is a long process. Also, the SBP is long term programme. The SBP is not only a long-term, it is by definition a mass programme. It is for all those, without exception, to those which are partly linked to the workplace because security depends on all those involved directly or indirectly in the work process.  3- The five barriers against accidents.. The lessons of SBP are structured around five barriers against the risk of accidents. The barriers are the daily steps taken to prevent accidents. The Safe Behaviour Programme focuses mainly on the following five barriers:  Correct prioritisation: Any conflict between security and other activity causes postponement of the planned task until the perfect command of security conditions.. Compliance: Know and respect the rules and requirements for each specific work situation. Open Dialogue: establish an atmosphere of dialogue and confidence either with colleagues, staff or hierarchy to address all problems, even personal, which may cause a risk to work. Continuous risk assessment: ask the following question before the start of any task: are there risks to be eliminated? It requires just a minute of your time. Carry on asking yourself during the progress of the task. Caring about each other: Do not hesitate to intervene to correct a colleague committing an error that could cause a risk. Your initiative is often the last barrier to avoid an accident.  4- The different phases of the programme. The Safe Behaviour Programme includes several phases: : 4-1- Before workshops - Seminars introducing and explaining the contents of the SBP to the Managers. - Preliminary meetings bringing together the collective on workplaces to prepare them for the training/ awareness. 4-2 The workshops: The workshops are spread over two days during which, the mental barriers that must be set against the risk of accidents, are taught, illustrated and discussed, using multimedia.
