Introduction
Motivation and recognition play a significant role in
achieving permanent employee behavior change.
Traditionally, safety “incentive” programs have based
rewards on all employees reaching a benchmark.
When rewards are based on everyone succeeding,
negative peer pressure can occur, resulting in injury
hiding. Tangible rewards that are positive, regular and
certain reinforce desirable behaviors and conditions,
making them more likely to continue and even replace
undesirable behaviors and conditions.
Target Audience
The seminar is useful to operations, maintenance,
construction and safety engineers, and also to
supervisors and safety coordinators of oil, gas,
petro-chemicals, chemicals, construction and other
industries including manufacturing line management
of contracting companies, hotels, government
regulatory and educational establishments.
Workshop Objectives
- Learn about SAFESTART advanced safety
awareness and skills development training
program.
- Learn why proactive, prevention-oriented reward
programs focus on identifying desirable actions.
- Gain a greater understanding of potential accident
recognition as a means of prevention.
- Learn to design and implement successful
behavior-based safety programs that dissuade
injury hiding and engage line management.
- Learn the benefits of proactive, preventionfocused
programs and explore the most “popular”
recognition tools.
Workshop Description
This workshop explores the role of recognition as it
relates to changing employee behavior. It focuses
extensively on the mechanisms needed for successful
behavior-based safety recognition and considers areas
that are often overlooked. It covers: the pitfalls of
using downstream or trailing indicators on accident
rates instead of focusing on safety successes; the
benefits of using upstream or leading indicators for
implementing proactive, prevention-based programs;
and the problems associated with using randomized
games of chance and lottery programs (giving out
rewards that aren’t tied to specific behaviors). It
reviews the most “popular” recognition tools in use
today-gift cards and cash substitutes, travel awards,
big giveaways and non cash merchandise awards
- and what the latest studies indicate about their
effectiveness for improving job safety.
