What primary goal does the Behavior Observation Program (BOP) serve?

The primary goal of the Behavior Observation Program (BOP) is to assess the trustworthiness of employees who have unescorted access to sensitive areas or critical operations. This is crucial in environments where security and safety are paramount, such as in facilities handling hazardous materials or sensitive information. By observing behavior, the program helps identify any potential risks that could arise from an employee’s actions or attitudes, ensuring that only those individuals who demonstrate reliability and integrity have unrestricted access. This proactive approach contributes to maintaining a secure and safe workplace environment, which is essential for organizational integrity and operational continuity.
