What is Safety Culture

9
What is Incentives?
GENERALLY TANGIBLE TO OTHERS
11
Factors Affecting Recognition
● People respond to different types of recognition
● Learn the person, learn what they respond to
● Multiple types of incentive/recognition work best
● Good example:
- Praise the individual before his/her peers (intangible)
- Praise the individual in private (intangible)
- Give a displayable plaque (tangible)
- Give a displayable certificate (tangible)
- Give a bonus or monetary award (tangible)
12
Assumptions About Incentives
● Incentives sometimes are construed to mean:
- Workers are careless
- Workers are accident prone
- Workers have bad attitudes
- Accidents can be stopped by giving trinkets (small things)
- Accidents are caused exclusively by people
- Machines don’t cause accidents, people do
● Teach employees to understand that:
- Incentives play only a partial role in injury reduction
13
What Do Statistics Tell Us?
STATISTICS
● Based on Injury statistics only
● Based on Recordable injuries
● Doesn’t include Close calls
● Frequency not a good indicator of Risk
● Provides little information about risk management
● Statistics provide little more than Indicators
● Statistics provide a starting point
