Safe Subconscious Behaviours & Empowerment:
Building Safe, High Performing Teams & Individuals
At Salos we’re redefining how teams approach safety and performance with the introduction of our new Safe Subconscious Behaviours programme. This is built on a powerful insight: most of what we do offshore especially under pressure is driven by subconscious habits. By training the subconscious mind to default to safe behaviours, we can dramatically reduce incidents and improve operational performance, even in high-risk environments like offshore drilling.
Autopilot: Friend or Foe?
Offshore crews often operate in “autopilot mode” due to routine, fatigue, or familiarity. While this can boost efficiency, it also introduces risk when unsafe habits go unnoticed. The programme helps teams identify these default behaviours and replace them with safe, reinforced routines.
Real Results from Real Rigs
This isn’t theory it’s proven. Behaviour-Based Safety (BBS) programmes have delivered up to 69% reductions in incidents across all industries.
Safety That Sticks—Even When No One’s Watching
The ultimate goal? To build offshore teams where safety is the default where PPE is worn without reminders, hazards are addressed instinctively, and unsafe acts are never ignored. As the course reminds us: “Safety is what you do when no one is looking.” By embedding safe behaviours into the subconscious, we’re not just reducing incidents—we’re building a resilient, high-performance culture offshore.
Salos have a wide range of technical and safety related training. If you would like more information please reach out to us.
