Incentive Programs
Safety incentive programs almost ALWAYS fail (and can make things worse). WHY? Because the real incentive is to HIDE safety injuries/issues in order to get a false low Incident Rate, ghet the reward, and make everyone happy. Safety Incentive programs should be built around employee ownership and participation, not Incident Rate. You seriously need to understand the work of E.
