Workers Compensation “Leading Indicators”

“Leading Indicator”

Safety Incentive Programs

 

Avoid using “lagging indicator” safety incentives. These would include rewarding employees if they went a certain number of days without an incident. These style of programs can lead to underreporting.

 

Instead, utilize “leading indicator” programs. These are programs designed to reward employees for safety-related behaviors and activities, rather than for results.

 

Examples include reporting safety violations, making safety suggestions, taking steps to remedy unsafe situations, and volunteering for safety committees.
