The rate of fatalities and serious injuries at construction site has risen ultimately for the last few years. One of the main factors of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) incident is human errors. Behavioural Based Safety (BBS) is a systematic method that helps workers to identify and change their behaviours to prevent unwanted incidents at the workplace. This paper aims to identify the awareness level of Behavioural Based Safety (BBS) in construction sites. The methodology of this paper is through quantitative research on a total of 58 numbers of respondents among Safety and Health Officers (SHO) working in construction industry. The general finding of this paper shows the workers awareness in terms of behaviour is still in moderate level. Future research related to this field should be expanded to enhance the effectiveness of BBS system implementation in the construction industry.
