Posted By Bill Bircham Uday, Whilst any incentive to improve safety performance is to be commended, a word of warning. There is a large body of evidence to suggest that schemes that focus upon accident figures work simply by encouraging under reporting. Imagaine a scenario of a manager/dept with only a few days to go in the reference period and an excellent record so far. Then there is an accident. Some managers will cover up the accident to ensure they get their 'bonus'. This attitiude pervades down to the workforce eventually, to the stage where peer pressure is brought into play, preventing even the honest employees from reporting. If you must implement a cash based scheme, it is far better to develop one around the identification of cost effective safety improvement schemes, safer working practices etc. This encourages positive employee involvement, rather than flagrant disregard for reporting procedures. There is a wealth of information on the net available about such schemes and I would ask all contibutors to this forum to post replies with where this can be found - thus helping us all! Hope this helps Bill
