When safety incentive programs are based on lagging indicators they fail to be proactive. When incentives are based on leading indicators like hazards and near misses reported and controled, work place obervations conducted, and opportunitys for process improvements identifed you will see a reduction in your lagging indicators, which will demonstrate a proactive approch!

The incentive program somehow assumes that workers are responsible for accidents and undesirable events. However, in most plants, it is the design (not just of the plant but also of the job, process, workflow,etc) which is at fault for many accidents. Poor engineering design is amny times the root cause of many an accident.
This is not addressed by any such incentive programs at all!
