Behavioural methods is a proactive way of improving work-related safety by identifying and modifying unsafe behaviours. The experiential base for behavioural safety continues to gain importance and guide practitioners and companies. This review article intends to highlight the aspects that critically support the successful implementation of BBS safety programs and need to be considered while designing them. This research article has implemented the technique of systematic literature review to analyse, synthesise critically and plot the framework by narrowing comprehensive themes from the entire process. The review process starts by defining a time range, selection of databases, identification of relevant article, and finally classification. Databases from Science Direct, Taylor & Francis, Sage, Emerald and Wiley’s online library, etc., were explored, and 29 research articles published between 1999 and 2024 were organised for analysis. As a result, organisational and individual factors emerged as two broad categories of factors that influence the process of implementation. Further, the result also shows BBS innovations such as the identification of unsafe behaviour using 2D images, the concept of adjusted BBS, TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) to evaluate the BBS risk, skill training on virtual reality platform improves the efficiency of the process. Further, the study discusses the success of the BBS process and the associated challenges that affect the successful implementation of the BBS process. In the non-appearance of any systematic research of existing research publication on BBS and factors influencing the implementation process, the result of this review article will serve as a guide to safety practitioners and researchers.
