    mkleier:

    Greetings,

    I would like to offer an artical in the Occupational Safety & Health publication on safety incentive programs and promotion.  I think the reason most safety incentives fail is they begin with the wrong premise.  Those that hate safety programs claim, "I tried them and they did not reduce accidents."  Incentive programs first and foremost, raise awareness to safey performance, not reduce accidents.  It is said most accidents are caused by unsafe acts.  I think most accidents are caused by unsafe thinking.  Lifting injuries, along with slips, trips and falls remain the highest incidents in the industry but I do not hear anyone claiming, "I tried those training video, seminars, etc...and they did not work."  Thought comes before action.  Get employees thinking about safety behavior is the first step to getting employees acting safety.  Train, education and awareness is the key.  Safety incentive programs raise awareness to the training and education that they have or should have received.  Top of the mind awareness is what you need for employee safety.  Incentive promotions and programs can deliver that key ingredient if implamented properly and with a clear understanding of purpose.  Take a minute to read the article.  http://aolsearch.aol.com/aol/redir?src=websearch&requestId=f5ff397c616a3472&clickedItemRank=3&userQuery=pizza+analogy&clickedItemURN=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stevenspublishing.com%2FStevens%2FOHSpub.nsf%2Fd3d5b4f938b22b6e8625670c006dbc58%2Fb329daef42b5ae8a86256c950051379c%3FOpenDocument&title=Better+Ingredients%3A+The+Pizza+Analogy+Frequency+of+message+equals+...&clickedItemPageRanking=3&clickedItemPage=1

  • Re: Safety Incentive Programs

    I have a couple ideas about a safety incentive program, my recent one is like a pop quiz but fun sort of.  How it works is, during a meeting hand out a little form and the topic for example is company rules, have the employees write down 4 or 5 rules they know.  People with all correct answers recieve a small gift certificate.  And other meetings do other topics.

     

    This will help with audits, so they personally have to think about the rules, safety and health policy, whatever your topic is and it will keep them on their toes for the next meeting.  So they will always know the answers and during audits they will know the answers as well...

     

    Please tell me what you think

    We currently use an incentive program and I have noticed that people cover up minor accidents because they are a part of a team and they don't want to let their teammates down. I personally don't like those type programs. Programs have worked better when they wre on an individualized basis

    I myself don't like safety incentives programs.  The reward always has to be worth the effort put forth, it creates under reporting and a sense of entitlement.  I have everyone close thier eyes and think of a person they want to spend time with that evening or do something with in the near future.  I confirm that they have an individual, and ask them how they would feel if I told them that they could be with that person or spend that time doing something with them because they were injuried or killed on the job because of a unsafe act.  Most people will well up with some tears.  If that isn't incentive enough I don't know what is....  Hit them at home...  Dana

    Well I don,t know how big your company is but, you could just catch them doing something right. We Fandago offers low priced movie tickets when bought in bulk for open admission to any movie. As you move around your facility each day if you catch an employee following your safety regulations then give them 2 tickets to go to the movies. Also you can place 2 tickets in an envelop in area that are to be inspected daily but have a hard time getting people to comply with the inspection of this area and wait to see who finds the tickets and recognize them at the next safety meeting. you should recognise all the recipients of tickets at the safety metting. Then you could award the department with the most tickets awarded and least time loss due to injuries have lunch catered to them each month or each quarter. The department with the best number at the end of the year gets a plaque or trophy to keep in that department until the next years winner is decided. Stacy Bankhead Stat Care EMS
