You could always compare ideas to your accidents stats- ideas where there have been a number of similar accidents. You could also do a monthly theme and base suggestions on that for example one month fire safety, the next manual handling etc.

I'm afraid I haven't been involved in these types of schemes, we had health and safety week but that ended the week I started my last job and I left before the next one came around!

We have this system, its run off our in house TOFS/STOP card system. One is chosen every month and the raiser is awarded a choice of reward. We have cinema vouchers for two as our prize. Cheap, but effective. The award is made on a rolling basis by departmental managers. This allows them to champion their own agendas for things they would like to see raised on the cards. Its not only improvement suggestions that are put through, any vaugely safety related observation can be raised. We record the category of observation and track their sizes as an indication of things which require attention. We do get some crap through the system, people exercising their own grievances with other individuals ect, and some confusion between this and out defect reporting system (our line is you can raise both, but the observation card won't get the problem fixed, so raise a defect too) but in general its a very useful engagement tool.

We have an operation in Egypt, and the local guys were encouraged to participate too. It took a while to build up the engagement, but they did. It sometimes makes for some entertaining spelling mistakes. I'm sure you'll get some good feedback in West Africa!

best of luck.

Use a multiplier to devise a score, lets safe 1 to 5,

Job function x Potential Impact or Actual improvement x Individual action = Safety Score

Job function = Is their job a senior, middle or junior position. The more junior the more you score.
Potential impact or Actual improvement = Potential for loss or injury avoided or benefit to organisational safety, more benefits equals higher score.
Individual action = did the person detect the issue and only notify someone ( score 1) or did they as part of a team improve the situation (score 3) or were they a superstar and led the improvement from start to finish (score 5)

This is the method I use
