EBS™ Digital Tools

EBS™ Digital Tools are a suite of software-enabled applications that operationalize Energy-Based Safety (EBS) by supporting structured field observations, identification of high-energy hazards, and consistent classification of incidents for operational learning.

 

These digital tools are offered in partnership with Dr. Antoine Tixier, who led the software implementation.

​

EBO™: An EBS Method for Digital Observations

Energy-Based Observation (EBO) is a method designed to support high-quality field engagement focused on serious injury and fatality (SIF) prevention. 

 

The EBO application allows users to digitally record information identified during structured safety walks and field discussions, including:

  • High-Energy Hazards

  • Direct Controls

  • Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) Precursors

 

The application supports data capture and continuous analysis through a live dashboard that enables real-time learning and trend identification.​​

The EBO tool works on both desktop and mobile devices.

SCL: An EBS Method for Incident Classification and Learning
The Safety Classification and Learning (SCL) model is a framework designed to support consistent classification of incidents and conditions to enable organizational learning.
 
The SCL application operationalizes the model by guiding users through a short series of structured questions to assess whether:
  • a high-energy hazard was present

  • a high-energy incident occurred

  • a direct control was present

  • a serious injury was sustained

 

The resulting data are uploaded to a secure server in a consistent format that supports benchmarking and shared learning across organizations.​​​

The SCL data entry and dashboard applications work on both desktop and mobile devices.

Energy Calculator: An EBS Method for Energy Assessment
The Energy Calculator was designed to support assessment of energy magnitude based on basic hazard parameters such as height, weight, speed, pressure, and other physical variables.​
