An Interdependent Culture, aimed at increasing safe behavior in mining-Cajamarca-Peru

Abstract

This article is based on studies that are part of the thesis called "Implementation of the Safety Program based on behavior-SBC, to increase safe behaviors in workers in the mining sector in Cajamarca", the same one that was carried out by the Mg. Pavel Rodriguez Portocarrero, with the advice of Mg. Julián Diaz Ruiz and the support of the Ph D. Marilú Calderón Célis. This study finds its principles in the Psychological current exposed during the 1890s called "behaviorism", the same one that provides the principles and foundations for the later development of the so-called "Behavior-Based Security", which from the year 1950 began to charge force in the industrial and mining fields, since it allows modifying the behavior of the labor force based on timely and effective interaction processes. The mining operation where this study was developed is located in the department of Cajamarca. The objective of this research lies in improving the performance of workers and the management of safety in the organization, thus generating a change in the culture of the workforce (attitude and behavior), to guide them towards adequate decision-making. During the present study, it was possible to include in the strategy the use of technology (smartphones) for reporting interactions, which significantly improved the performance of the "Observers". The knowledge of this research will allow the reader to identify the appropriate sequence for the implementation of the tool called "Behavior-Based Security", which will surely bring excellent results in improving the security indexes and in the actions of the collaborators at work and as individuals at home and in society.
