Workplace Safety Incentives Since 1991
Safety Pays is a fully-integrated system of rewards, recognition utilizing an entertaining "bingo game" format. The game basics are as follows:So long as all of the employees within a given program group continue to avoid accidents and injuries, individuals within that group will regularly (approximately once per month) win a progressive incentive jackpot.
This jackpot will start at a base of $25 and grow by one dollar each workday as one bingo number is drawn. the jackpot continues to grow so long as the workforce avoids accidents and injuries as defined in the Rules & Regulations we provide to address or company's specific needs. Most companies normally choose to place a cap on the jackpot (eg. $150, $200, $250 -- whatever is appropriate for your workforce and budget parameters).
Should any employee from a specific program group suffer any injury reportable as a workers' comp claim (whether defined as "Lost Time", Osha Recordable" or to include all accidents resulting in either injury OR damage to property -- vehicles, equipment, inventory, etc.), the jackpot for that group will be immediately reduced back to its base of $25.00.
The game continues on from there, with the rebuilding of the jackpot to avoid demoralizing an employee who's close to winning and otherwise making a personal effort to stay safe. Stopping a game when an injury occurs (what generally occurs in a traditional safety bingo game) is not only discouraging for those workers making an effort to succeed, but it can also lead to injury hiding by an employee who doesn't want to "kill the game" for everyone else because they've been hurt.
In addition, Bonus Card with special added dollar values will be granted to those employees who provide the best safety suggestions during each game round. Employees must win the game with the Bonus Cards they've been awared in order to receive the bonus dollars values available to them. Bonus cards can also be awarded for a variety of individual initiatives -- "above and beyond the call", perfect attendance, good housekeeping, helping others, etc.
Supporting these dollar incentives is an entertaining system of rules enforcement, winner recognition, employee accountability (to prevent fraudulent and post-termination claims) as well as effective safety communication-- all in a user-friendly design to allow easy program administration.
