Workplace Safety In High-Risk Industries Is More Than Just Running Through A Checklist
It’s true, even with detailed policies and guidelines in place, improving safety in the workplace (and your company’s ROI) isn't easy.
"Sustained Engagement Is Key To Embedding Safety Practices Into Your Organization’s DNA"
Our Safety Recognition Programs Help You Combat The Following Problems:
Problem #1
Lack of employee motivation
While some employees may comply with basic safety requirements to protect themselves, inspiring everyone to embrace safety as a shared responsibility and core value can be challenging. Especially if it requires more work from them.
Problem #2
Focusing only on the numbers
Currently, you may be focused on reducing the number of incidents, which is great. However, this can lead to employees meeting safety targets by any means necessary, such as stopping the reporting of incidents and injuries. Changing the culture around safety is the best way to achieve consistent results.

Problem #3
Choosing between efficiency vs. safety
Consciously or unconsciously, workplaces expect employees to prioritize efficiency over safety. This may lead workers to stray from safe practices to meet performance expectations, putting themselves - and your company’s reputation - at unnecessary risk. You don’t need to choose one or the other.
Problem #4
Difficulty finding a perfect-fit program
We get it - as a safety professional, it can be difficult to find a safety engagement program that has a low minimum investment, doesn’t take forever to set up, and actually gets your employees excited to focus on workplace safety every day.

Fact: Employee Inaction Is A Major Barrier To Safety
DID YOU KNOW?
Studies show that by recognizing and rewarding safe behaviors, employees are 3x more likely to repeat them.
Recognition turns safety from a checklist into a shared value. When workers know their efforts won’t go unnoticed, they feel more engaged and motivated.
This leads to fewer incidents, stronger team morale, and better overall performance.
Even small rewards or public praise can spark lasting behavior change and encourage others to follow suit—building a true culture of safety.

Frequently Asked Question
1. Why should we opt for a safety incentive program vs. offering prize money to our employees?
Choosing a safety incentive program over cash prizes benefits both employees and employers. For employees, non-cash rewards are usually not taxed the same way as cash bonuses, resulting in potential tax savings. (The IRS offers tax breaks for certain non-cash safety awards, making them a smart financial choice.)
Plus, we offer many tiers of products based on your budget, which makes reward programs more cost-effective for your company.
Finally, non-cash rewards like gift cards, merchandise, or extra vacation days can feel more personal and memorable, improving motivation and satisfaction.
2. Which industries are a perfect fit for your behavior-based safety programs?
Safety Hero programs are perfect for a wide range of high-risk industries, from construction, energy, oil, solar, manufacturing, utilities, fulfillment centers, transportation and logistics, government, and military sectors to other industries where safety is paramount.
Tailored to meet each industry's specific safety needs and challenges, our safety engagement programs ensure that all employees are engaged and committed to maintaining a safe work environment.
Whether you’re designing an army safety program, fleet safety program, construction safety program, electrical safety program, driving safety program, and more - we’ve got you covered.

With Safety Hero, you can customize various elements of your safety incentive program to perfectly align with your company’s needs and goals.
Program rules: Define the specific behaviors and achievements that will earn recognition.

4. What types of rewards can we offer employees?

You can also include non-monetary rewards (anything you’d like to include, like extra vacation days, lunch with the boss, a special parking spot, etc.).
5. What kind of support can we expect after implementing the safety recognition program?
We offer ongoing support, including regular check-ins, expert advice, and tools to continuously optimize your safety engagement strategies.
6. What’s the minimum investment we need to test the Safety Hero programs?
There is no minimum investment, but we suggest a budget of $2,000-$3,000 for a short pilot program to test and evaluate the effectiveness of our safety engagement solutions before you commit to a larger rollout or set up an online store.
