- We recommend that your safety incentive program should be behavior-based vs. injury-rate-based. This means you, as the employer, should consider providing incentives to workers practicing safe operating procedures and practices. Typically, this is based solely on number of accidents.
- Reporting hazardous behavior and situations upfront should be a point of focus. This will prevent any future accidents and injuries.
- Ensure you praise and recognize employees in a timely manner, and in front of others to acknowledge their safe behavior. This encourages others to act in the same manner.
- Reward employees for safety-related activities. This includes providing safety suggestions to daily operating procedures, guiding a co-worker or new hire to perform a task safely or identifying a safety hazard.
- Ensure your safety program is clear – outlining how you want your employees to conduct themselves and perform the key elements of their job positions.
- It is vital to incentivize all employees equally. On the flip side, if you observe someone not following a company safety procedure, discipline would be warranted. Management/supervisors should be engaged and always actively observing.
- Allow your employees to set safety goals for themselves. Or highly encourage it. This will motivate them to ensure their own commitment to safety while working towards achieving the goals.
Safety is and remains top priority for Tri-Arc employees. Adopting a safety incentive program within your company will encourage safe practices, help minimize incidents and at the same time, prevent OSHA violations. #safetyfirst #laddersafety #usamade #proudtobeusamadex
