Industrial safety incentives boost firm accident awards
The National Safety Council notes about 10,000 of 15,000 members use incentive programs to cut injuries by rewarding workers who avoid accidents. Ashland Oil Co led a nationwide safety campaign with prize-based incentives, reporting major declines in time-lost and minor injuries during Think Zero Week and a nine month Major League Safety program. Critics cite mixed long term efficacy, while supporters argue programs are highly valued by safety engineers and generate tangible financial returns.
