The focus of any US Safety Awards program remains on awareness and on proactively rewarding the behaviors which promote safe working conditions both for the individual and the team.  Though the programs below differ in the reward media, each of our programs starts at the top - with an awareness "campaign."

• A unique annual theme is selected, followed by 4 quarterly sub-themes (accident types).  Banners, posters, brochures, and other media are utilized to announce the selected themes.
  
• To engage the employees at program kick-off, each will receive a pledge card with an "I signed up for Safety" (or other relevant theme) pen. 
• Monthly, the employee will receive a communication piece, usually a promotional item, with that Quarter's theme.
• Monthly or Quarterly each employee will receive recognition of some type for working safely.
• Other times an employee should be recognized are as follows: attending monthly/quarterly safety meetings, filling out "near-miss" reports, pointing out safety hazards, safety suggestions, supervisory spot awards, etc.  Constantly reinforcing desired behaviors is the key.
  

A Safety BUCK is presented to each employee that exhibits the desired behavior (i.e works one month safely, attends safety meeting, completes safety quiz, etc.)  Employees accumulate Safety BUCKS over time and are able to redeem their Safety BUCKS for merchandise - either branded (logoed), unbranded, or a combination of the two.  Safety BUCK denominations may be determined by you as your budget allows.  Click here for the SafetyBUCK$ Overview

Individual cards are presented to employees for desired  behaviors.  The recipient rubs off five of the twenty squares to determine the amount of reward "points" that are earned.  Every card is a winner and holds its own intrinsic excitement.  Cards will be collected and redeemed for merchandise from either a paper or online catalog. (Note: Other Scratchers© card concepts are available as well.  Ask us for information.) Click here for our Safety Scratchers Overview.
