Common questions
Before you buy
What people ask us about the Behaviour Based Observation (BBO) Checklist – Editable Word Format.
What is the Behaviour Based Observation (BBO) Checklist – Editable Word Format used for?
Download a Behaviour Based Observation (BBO) checklist in Word format. Covers PPE, housekeeping, posture, tool use, and safety behaviours. Editable, printable, and SiteDocs-ready. It is written for Canadian workplaces and formatted so it can go straight into your safety program.
Is it editable, or print-ready only?
It is supplied in an editable format, so you can add your company name, adjust the wording to match how your crews actually work, and issue it under your own program.
Does using this form make us compliant?
No single form makes a company compliant. A form is the evidence half of a safety program - it records that something was checked and by whom. It carries weight at audit time when the written program behind it says the check is required and how often. If that program does not exist yet, that is the part we write.
What format is it, and when do I get it?
It is a digital download available immediately after checkout, and you can print as many copies as your own crews need.
From the team that wrote it
These forms come from a bigger program.
Inspection and competency forms are the evidence half of a safety program. If the program they belong to does not exist yet, or has not been updated in a few years, that is the part we write.
