Safety Incentive Program Tips

• Gather employee feedback and expectations when planning or re-evaluating a safety program
• Ask workers to help identify the different hazards that exist in the workplace so they are included and have a personal stake in the safety program's success
• Let employees earn and select their own safety award gifts from a collection of brand name merchandise and travel options
• Make assistance available for those with questions or needing help on accessing the safety incentive program information
• Allow employees to lead or prepare discussions for safety topics
• Form team or group safety incentives to maximize participation
• Partner with an experienced award provider who is capable of handling the fulfillment and customer service aspects of the reward program
• Incorporate employees' families in a safety program to increase safety awareness at home and at the workplace
• Allow participants to view the entire incentive award catalog so as they earn points, they are able to work towards earning a particular item of their choice
• Establish a safety committee to evaluate the safety incentive program at least quarterly and tweak the award program as deemed necessary
• Develop goals so that participants should be able to redeem their points for a gift in the first level of merchandise within the first three months
• Recognize safety achievements to energize your workforce and encourage award program participation

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.
