Though its an old news but its clouds are still surveilling and it was about the termination of Safety Incentive Programs, because what the higher authorities of OSHA think of is that “the safety programs are discouraging employees/workers to lie about the accidents and injuries that really happen at workplace”.
The exact words of DR. Michaels were
“We also disapprove of incentive programs that, for example, offer a pizza party or allow workers to enter a raffle for a new truck. These incentive programs can discourage employees from reporting injuries because they want to receive the reward.”
and carrying it on he said that, OSHA inspectors are also searching for such type of incentive programs and they will pros n cons the the very aspects of them to make sure that the workers are not lying about the injuries and accidents that happen at workplace.
So, there must be some small programs like the OSHA authorities mentioned but not for the purpose of safety but they can be arranged on the completion of projects, achievements of targets etc to let the workers know that company cares about them and cheers them on their performance. To run effective an legit safety incentive programs the owner or the managing authorities must consult with a well known Safety Consulting Agency member.
