Abstract:

In order to address the managerial complexities arising from the multi-causal and dynamic nature of unsafe behaviors in high-risk industries such as mining and construction, and to overcome the "one-size-fits-all" limitations of traditional behavior-based safety management in the era of informatization and intelligence, this paper introduces the concept of behavioral risk profiling based on the developmental trajectory of behavioral safety and risk profiling theory. By employing literature review methodology and integrating interdisciplinary perspectives, this study systematically examines the constituent elements and construction methods of behavioral risk profiling. The findings reveal that behavioral risk profiling effectively addresses the growing limitations of traditional behavior-based safety management, providing a powerful analytical and managerial tool for the new era. Through a four-layer labeling system comprising work scenarios, behavioral manifestations, risk factors, and risk assessment, it systematically reveals the mapping relationships of unsafe behaviors from phenomena to their underlying essence. On this basis, a construction methodology is developed following the logic of hierarchical data collection, risk-based group assessment, and personalized intervention.

Key words: behavioral risk profiling, labeling system, unsafe behavior, constituent elements, personalized intervention, construction method
