Safety Award Program Setup Checklist 

1. Settle on a budget for the safety incentive program by calculating the per person dollar value to safely spend on each safety recognition award.
2. Establish safety goals that are relevant and attainable for incentive program participants.
   
   Ongoing goals may include perfect attendance (usually monthly), being a member of a safety team that provides safety improvement ideas and implementation, being certified in 1st aid, CPR and AED - a first responder, participating as a safety committee member and reaching hourly, quarterly and/or monthly goals of no recordable accidents.
   
   One-time goals for safety award programs may be comprised of peer to peer recognition/nomination for a safety practice/good behavior, reporting near miss, developing an action plan to eliminate a hazard, completing an annual physical, identifying a safety hazard and developing an action plan, submitting safety improvement ideas and conducting a safety audit or safety presentations.
3. Decide whether the safety incentive program will be online, in print or a combination of both.
   
   Safety point certificates and safety award booklets can be used in combination with safety program websites or by themselves. Completely online safety point programs can also be effective depending on the comfort level and level of access to computers employees have.
4. Determine the appropriate kinds of safety program communication tools to utilize.
   
   Safety posters, emails and paper statements are all great supplements to the safety program and communicate safety messages and program updates to participants.
5. Gather feedback and review safety incentive program reporting.
   
   By having this knowledge, safety program administrators can provide return on investment statistics and tweak the program as the needs of the workplace change over time.
