With the recent OSHA regulations on
reporting, there is again much discussion on safety incentives and how they are
viewed by OSHA. Clients and prospective
customers ask about it almost daily.
Since the first OSHA report on safety incentives was published in 1998,
we have read and researched many articles on this subject and rarely find
anything written on it from the point of view of a safety award company.
So we reviewed all current research, had
conferences with our panel of safety professionals across the country, and have
written a paper that we feel will give you a better understanding of this
discussion.
The paper is intended to be as
transparent as possible regarding the subject; the opinions contained in it are
based on reviewing hundreds of safety incentive programs that our clients have
implemented over the years. And from our
perspective, at least 50% of all the programs reviewed contain at least some
rules that can easily be considered by OSHA to be the kind that could cause the
under reporting of incidents, and therefore place them in jeopardy of
non-compliance.
In reality, we can recall only a small
handful that were ever audited and were told they were not compliant. The white
paper goes into detail how this happened, and how the incentive industry, while
being complicit, was actually doing what they were trained to do.
Today with the spotlight squarely on the
OSHA reporting rules that were recently introduced, we believe that now is a
great time to take a close look at your incentive programs and do what you need
to do to make them compliant.
