Posted By Beau We have thought about (tho never actually put into practice) a prize draw for all near miss report cards (a system we run whereby cards are placed in the canteen for the guys to fill out any instances we then collect them and act upon them) Stick em all in a hat say monthly for a staggeringly amazing prize (!) Mmm who said Health and Safety is its own incentive??!!!!

Posted By Anthony Rocheford Hi Alice What I have done for a company is to award points for persons identifying hazard and risks in their area of operation and additional points for offering workable solutions which are then translated into bonuses. on a scale of 1-10 the rating is based on the significance of the likely out come and hence the saving that will result from avoiding the possible accidend and impending injury, where the solution is also recommended and implemented additional points are awarded. where a solution is recommended but not implemented in its interity or leads to the development of a solution additional points at a lesser level are awarded. You can decide on the rating based on the company's other systems

Posted By Merv Newman Must say I agree with Chris, something for the family, though I'm against the ephemeral reward. I prefer something that will be a lasting reminder of an achievement. My last employer had a scheme that rewarded 12 months without a Lost Time Injury at a plant by a gift for each employee. Gifts up to the "cost-to-the-company" were chosen from a mail order catalogue by a group of employees (men and women) I left that company 17 years ago but still have a surviving garden hose and car battery charger. (the coffee maker and the electric drill died years ago) And I still remember, each time I use the survivors, where they came from. I'm also against "safety related" gifts : fire extinguisher, first aid kits and so on. These are items that you hope never to have to use. I'd much rather SELL those to employees at a heavily discounted price. Merv
