Employees who see and talk to each other every day make the best teams. Team sizes should range from 50 to 80 employees. The game starts by handing out Safety Cents game cards to all employees at a kick off meeting to explain the prize schedule and game rules. Every two weeks employees are given a Safety Cents game card to recognize the group's completing a two week period without an accident or injury.
Employees scratch off the silver boxes and match work place hazard symbols to win cash.
These cash prizes increase in value every two week period throughout the program. An injury or accident returns the group to the original prize base, period one on the prize schedule. You can see there's a real incentive for keeping the injury record unbroken. This simple format provides a powerful incentive that is extremely effective and easy to administer. The type of injury that would re-start a team on the prize schedule depends on your injury history.
