Incentive programs aimed at safety performance can have unintended consequences if not carefully designed. Some programs may discourage reporting of injuries in order to receive rewards. Proper investigation of incidents is important to identify root causes such as fatigue, pressure to work quickly, or lack of training, rather than solely blaming individual worker error. A positive approach focusing on near miss reporting and proactive identification of hazards may better promote a strong safety culture.

Incentivizing and rewarding workers for safe behaviors is proven to be effective in improving workplace safety. However, there are times when these programs cause more harm than good. How do you know what type of program will work and be compliant with OSHA regulations?
This webinar is NOT for deadbeats, the lazy, or anyone who hates getting their hand dirty.
This webinar is for the extraordinary Safety Professionals, who work everyday to ensure their workers go home safely to their friends and family every night!
Its for the professional who works hard to create good training programs, and deliver quality training, and most importantly is always trying to do better.
Safety Professionals are asked everyday to train employees on how to work safely around dangerous situations. It is the actions of these men and women that keep workers comp costs low, and production high, but everyday professionals just like you struggle.
They struggle to keep their employee engaged, provide good resources, and earn buy in from those that they teach.
"The Perfect Safety Meeting" will teach you how some of the industries top experts run their safety meetings, where they get their materials, and how to implement these principles and ideas into your own program.
"The Perfect Safety Meeting" will teach you skills that are being used right now, by professionals just like you. Skills that have lowered injuries, reduced incidents, and raised production.

Behaviour-Based Safety: The blame game
An entire department is given bingo cards. The game continues until someone in that department reports a work related injury or illness. At that time, everyone has to turn in his or her markers and the game starts over. Imagine the pressure on the poor worker who slices his or her finger or suffers some type of sprain, not to report an injury, because a co-worker is about to reach BINGO and win the VCR or microwave oven.
Sound familiar? Scenarios such as this are growing in frightening proportions as more and more workplaces are adopting behaviour-based safety programs as part of their health and safety arsenal. UFCW Canada opposes this type of so called Health and Safety program as this type of program also encourages workers to spy on their co-workers for working in an unsafe manner

The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) requires employers who participate in a group/group retrospective rating plan and have had a workers’ compensation claim within the “green year” to complete two hours of mandatory safety training during the each policy year. This means that companies who are group/group retrospective rated participants with an injury claim filed between Jan. 1, 2012 and Dec. 31, 2012 (calendar year 2012) must attend safety training, regardless of the size or severity of the claim. Per BWC guidelines, each company policy owner is required to fulfill separately the two-hour training requirement and may designate any company representative to attend.
Failing to meet this requirement could jeopardize your group/group retrospective rating program status.

In this free webinar, Jan Chappel from CCOHS will discuss how experience has shown that a successful training or outreach program will:
Cover the overall training needs (health and safety rights and responsibilities, hazard recognition and control, preparing for emergencies),
Recognize the difference between education and training, and
Incorporate best practice approach for reaching young, new or migrant workers and acknowledge the differences between these groups.
Tailored, audience-specific approaches that match the needs of the workers are best at achieving higher awareness for health and safety, and fewer accidents or incidents.

Safety incentive programs that count days without an incident
have a reputation for success. A sim-
ple program posting the number of
days on a scoreboard seems to raise
safety awareness particularly when
the number of reported incidents de-
crease. If the last score reached was
55 days without an incident, the next
one is usually higher. Employees will
naturally want to beat their collective
high score. They will work together
to accomplish this, especially if there
is a reward for doing so. Rewards
for maintaining an incident-free
workplace may range from paid time
off to a celebration pizza party. What
could go wrong?
This is an easy program to put in
place. Many scoreboards are commer-
cially available showing the current
number of days without an incident
and the previous record. Models range
from whiteboard type to electronic.
Some boards even show days without
a lost-time incident and days with-
out an OSHA-recordable incident. A
scoreboard with this detail suggests
employees know and appreciate the
difference. The definitions would
probably be posted and discussed in
safety meetings. The assumption is that
this knowledge would increase safety
awareness.
Most of these boards carry an inspi-
rational message such as “safety first,”
“safety is no accident,” “help do your
part to make a new record,” or “safety
pays.” Many also have the words safety,
quality and excellence, implying that this
score is really a reflection of all three.
These scoreboards remind workers to
think about safety every day.
So far, everything in this article is
true and would probably be of great in-
terest to senior management and even
some safety professionals. After all, it
presents a simple return on investment
for innocent efforts. If this informa-
tion leaves the reader room for doubt,
chances are s/he is a seasoned pro-
fessional or perhaps a federal OSHA
administrator.
Employees Work as a Team
When provided with a carrot, em-
ployees will work together to win. At
first glance, it may appear this team
cooperation occurs on a cultural level
and results in preventing incidents. It
is easy to assume that results achieved
must be because employees are looking
out for each other and speaking up
about safety issues that could lead to
incidents.
Instead, the author believes that
employees who see scoreboards and
signs every day with sentiments such
as “safety first” become complacent.
Employees repeating the same efforts
with the same outcome in the same
environment eventually results in
complacency. This unintended conse-
quence is not obvious at first.
Here is a real-life example. A col-
league of the author was recounting a
recent conversation with a cashier at a
home improvement store. The cashier
told him the company had a safety in-
centive program that provided a pizza
party celebration for all employees after
a specific goa.

Open door policy is part of this program. The definition of the open door policy allows make the employees comfortable to see their senior and ask him about their personal problem instead their immediate supervisors. Sometime the employees cannot tell or discuss the issue with their immediate supervisors. With an open door policy, employees can approach senior management and discuss issues such as job performance, conflicts with co-workers, ideas for department improvements and company policies. Open door policies develop the connection between employees and management. The employees can solve their personal problem not only the business issue with their senior. The open door policy can help the companies because they will use all the suggestions from the employees. Also ...

52. Conclusion Research beliefs for managers and employees before you implement an incentive program. Change safety culture from the top down and the bottom up EVEN if it is one person at a time. You can make an excellent pitch to upper management, but will field people care? Recognize people for innovative ideas and mentoring. Good Luck!
Slide # 30 is exactly it, however I would NEVER call it an incentive. The buzz word is recognition. Being safe is part of your daily job just like a tool in your toolbox. You should not be praised for something you are suppose to be doing and getting paid for. You should be recognized for innovative ideas and mentoring. Would you differentiate between safety ideas and other improvement ideas such as recycling? By keeping it simple and easy Less frust rating and time consuming to the employee. It keeps them focused Makes the process easier If you don’t keep it simple / the people will not participate. ACTION - Location, Location, Location!
