Bridge Safety Consultants

When your employees believe that you care about
their personal safety, you will have fewer injuries.

Two Questions to Consider:

1.	How high a priority do your employees believe safety is at your company?
2.	Do they believe that the company strongly values their individual safety?

When your safety program involves them, motivates them and recognizes them, employees will believe that you care. They will see that safety is not just made up of signs and boring, mandatory meetings. Our meetings are different - they’re dynamic, designed to make your safety program come alive. They demonstrate what a priority safety is to the company.

"You’ve brought new life and energy to our safety meetings, making them fun, informative and memorable. Most importantly, our accident rates are declining. Bridge Consultants has made an immediate, positive impact on AB & I’s safety program.”

There are at least 15 different decisions you have to make when designing a motivational program:

1.	Budget. How much? How to distribute? A little bit for everyone, or lots to a few?

2.	The Meeting. What to cover? How often do you hold the meetings? For how long? Fun or serious? By shift or everyone?

3.	Who. Who leads the meetings? Should they be bilingual? Do you include clerical/administrative employees? Do you include supervisors and managers?

4.	What else? How do you discourage hidden injuries? How do you focus on positive behaviors? How do you make it fair?

It's Great for Morale

One of the most difficult things for a company to create and maintain is positive morale. Companies that are able to accomplish it, tend to benefit in many ways, including fewer careless injuries, and fewer fraudulent claims. When the workforce is negative, and the attitude is influenced by a few negative employees, bad things happen.

Appreciation

Every management survey reaches the same conclusion: more than anything else,employees at every level want to feel appreciated. That is a difficult task in labor-intense industries. It is exacerbated when the workforce is predominantly Hispanic, and some employees have difficulty speaking and understanding English. Communication can
be a problem.

How many opportunities do you have to bring the employees who have the most difficult jobs together, deliver a serious message on safe behavior, and then celebrate that behavior in a meeting where there is applause, recognition, laughter, and positive feelings?

Accountability

Every program must have accountability. We show you how to accomplish it by demonstrating how to review injuries and near-misses, and have a positive discussion on how they could have been avoided. When careless behavior leads to disqualifications, and fewer awards, there is accountability. Everyone has a responsibility to their fellow workers to stay safe, perform their jobs in a safe manner, and to
be honest.

When you combine accountability with appreciation, you have accomplished the most difficult, and most significant achievement for a healthy and productive company. When employees are motivated, you have established a baseline for safety. When employees feel appreciated, and are properly motivated, injuries go down.

62% Reduction in Claims

Let’s get to the measurable results. The average reduction in claims in the first year for clients using our program is 62%. Every program we’ve provided has documented results, and most companies get even better results as the program goes on. You will see on our “Results” page that a well-designed program continues to provide motivation, unlike gimmicks or games.

Can you afford the time and money experimenting with an internal program, when there is a company that does it as their business?

It is hard to convince anyone of your seriousness if your solution is a bingo game. If your goal is to send a message to your employees that you care about their safety, doesn’t a bingo game, or a scratch card send the wrong message?

We are a professional company specializing in the design and delivery of motivational incentive programs. That is our only business, and one we understand better than people whose business is safety, finance, operations or plant management. You don’t have to re-invent the injury-reduction wheel, because we have it for you.
