Safety in the Manufacturing Industry
Situation:
A leading manufacturing company approached Awards Network in need of an online safety incentive program to encourage proper safety compliance and help to reduce costs associated with lost time accidents.
Solution:
Awards Network worked with the manufacturer to compile a list of safety goals that would help them achieve a safer workplace. Once the budget was set and the amount for each goal was established, a custom safety incentive program website was designed to the manufacturer's requirements. Managers distributed safety points to employees as goals were achieved.
The employees logged into the safety program website to view information on safety goals and corresponding point levels, take monthly safety quizzes, take advantage of peer to peer recognition opportunities and place orders. Once a month, company announcements were mailed to safety supervisors who held safety meetings at each location. These meetings allowed supervisors to introduce new safety goals and keep employees actively involved in safety awareness and compliance in the workplace.
Benefits and Results of the Online Manufacturing Safety Award Program:
The manufacturer saved $6.50 per every $1 invested in the safety incentive program over the course of 2 years. Reduced injuries, decreased insurance premiums, decreased absenteeism due to injury, less downtime/increased productivity and an increase employee engagement all contributed to the safety program's return on investment. As a result of the safety award program, the manufacturing company was able to gain a competitive advantage through the cost savings that it achieved.
Situation:
A client in the mining industry found that each on the job accident cost around $50,000 due to lost time and productivity. In order to reduce the number of accidents, the company decided to start a safety point certificate program.
Solution:
Awards Network designed custom point certificates that could be given to employees for on the spot safety recognition. Employees could save the safety point certificates or spend the points on safety awards by mailing the certificates in or redeeming them online.
To supplement the safety point certificates, the incentive program included safety posters that gave pointers on safe work behavior and were posted in employee locker rooms and break rooms. The company regularly held safety discussions in which employees could volunteer to lead a discussion on a safety topic of their choice. Volunteers were then awarded safety point certificates based on the quality of the presentation.
Benefits and Results of the Mining Safety Awards Program:
As a result of the safety point certificate program over two years, lost time accidents were reduced by 47% over the previous years. The estimated cost reduction was $5 million for lost time accidents alone. Overall, the company saw a decrease in employee absenteeism and a favorable increase in productivity and profitability due to the increased safety awareness among employees.
Safety in the Construction Industry
Situation:
After 2 years of increasing job site accidents, a construction company decided to start awarding quarterly safety recognition gifts for employees who reached specific safety goals.
Solution:
Jobsite safety training and monthly safety meetings were implemented to help inform employees on how to work safely at various jobsites while keeping them up to date on construction safety issues. Each employee who did not have a recordable accident over the course of 3 months was then rewarded with a custom safety award booklet at the end of the quarter. The custom safety award booklet featured the company logo and was personalized with the recipient's name. In addition, each safety award recipient received a customized safety greeting card and a safety award selection certificate.
As the employees began to redeem the safety recognition gifts, management was given safety program status reports detailing each item selected, by whom and when the safety award redemption took place. This allowed the company to see tangible results of the safety award program without having to perform the day to day administrative functions.
Benefits and Results of the Construction Safety Award Program:
Overall, the construction company reversed its trend towards an increasing jobsite accident rate. Throughout the entire program, Awards Network Account Managers served as the company's partner-providing professional advice every step of the way.
