Reduce Accidents
Effective behavior based safety incentive programs reward the correct behaviors, which deliver the desired results. Done right, safety incentive programs can have a dramatic impact on productivity and costs.
Why injuries still happen
You’ve painted all the yellow lines and bought all the safety equipment, but injuries still happen. Why?
Research shows that 90% of all injuries are the result of unsafe worker behavior.
Many companies today still measure “trailing indicators” — or past performance — as the basis for rewards.
Companies reward employees based on reaching an overall goal — number of days accident free for example. This simple approach doesn’t work: it encourages accident hiding and does not produce lasting improvement.
According to Dupont, 98 percent of accidents occur due to employee failure to follow established safety rules.
- Are you looking at lagging indicators and rewarding milestones (i.e. 90 days with no injury)?
- Are you looking for a more proactive approach because you worry how much injury hiding goes on?
