The application of Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) approach in construction industry is facing a severe challenge that safety performance may decline when BBS intervention is removed, due to the dynamic and transitory nature of construction sites and workforce. This paper proposes a continuous BBS strategy through integrating the BBS practice into management routine. In particular, a Supervisory-Based Intervention Cycle (SBIC) and a Behavior-Based Safety Tracking and Analysis System (BBSTAS) have been developed to achieve the integration at site and organizational level respectively. Applications of the SBIC and BBSTAS are presented and discussed, indicating that the continuous BBS strategy is a potential approach to achieve persistent safety improvement in construction industry.
