Safety incident rates in manufacturing are increasing over time rather than decreasing. Key indicators reveal that recordable injuries that require external medical intervention are increasing instead of being eliminated as desired. One of the main drivers of this problem is that team members do not see the value of safety in the work place. This research needs to prove why the elimination of the use of monetary safety incentive programs should be discontinued. Monetary based safety incentive programs create an environment of contradiction. This practice has enabled the philosophy that people should be paid to work safe – that team members will not, or should not, work safe unless given an incentive to do so. Team members appear to be focusing on the reward rather than the value of going home safely every day without an injury. Most manufacturing firms state that safety is a core business value and integral to the very existence of the organization. However, I believe this to be an inconsistency with the monetary incentive programs in place.
