Lack of communication can lead to confusion and resistance. It's important to maintain open and regular communication about the program's progress and any changes made.

Conclusion

By understanding and avoiding these common mistakes, you can ensure a successful implementation of a BBS program, leading to improved safety performance and a positive safety culture.
