The points system you use seems pretty clever.  I've heard of one where they basically accumulate points and trade them in for something of value (anything from as small as a candy bar to something as large as a fancy motorcycle helmet!) at the end of each month/quarter/trimester.  (I don't know if this has been mentioned in this topic because I haven't scanned through all the posts.)

Hi Jfb48... You are WISE to be cautious when you think about safety incentive programs. Frequently they become nightmares that cause injury hiding, entitlement mentality and more.  You can learn more about the pitfalls and how to avoid them at www.greenbeansandicecream.com which is my free workshop based on over 1000 program launches. The biggest thing I will tell you is that most companies start by rewarding lagging indicators. This can cause a host of problems, but oddly, in rare cases, it is the best place to start (with proper safeguards to ensure nobody hides the injury). For most companies, this will gradually move to a more upstream model. Safety Bingo and other gimmicks are only effective for a short time. We used to help clients build them, but now generally encourage them away from that model...another site you may enjoy is www.behaviorchangenow.com. You can contact me directly if you would like to know more at billsimsjr@hotmail.com. best wishes on your endeavors...

Linda,

Please sent info on your Safety Bucks program.  Much apprerciated.

We created a fun safety incentive program that rewards based on everyday prevention actions, Our program is called "Busted" We have raffle tickets and as a lead person or supervisor catches any employee doing something safe (Perhaps helping a co-worker move a large object without being asked) they recieve a ticket, We also engage an "undercover" employee that observes co-workers, at the end of their "term" the safe acts that they have written down in a notebook are evaluated and tickets are given out at that time. This insures that employees aren't just "acting" safe in front of supervisors. we then have a bi-monthly drawing where one of the winners are picked and they recieve a $10.00 gift card, It is reasonably priced, involves the employees and it has helped us decrease our sprain/strain and slip/fall incidents tremendously.
