The Center for Behavioral Sciences (CBS) was formed during the Research Institute’s reorganization in 2007. Evolving from the former Center for Safety Research, the CBS studies the impact of behavioral, cognitive, and organizational factors surrounding workplace injuries and highway collisions.

By carefully examining individuals within their environments, CBS research scientists identify behavioral and organizational factors that can contribute to injuries. CBS findings provide the scientific basis for guidelines and recommendations that are designed to minimize injuries at worksites and on the roadways.
