SAFETY AND LOSS CONTROL
Congratulations to the employees of the 222 Golden LivingCenters who will celebrate earning the Second Quarter 2015 Safety Incentive Program (SIP) award. (Click to see list.)Preventing injuries is the key to our safety program. Following our lift program to eliminate transfer injuries — and simply paying attention to prevent slips, trips, and falls — are two key areas of the program. Using modified duty and effective claims management to minimize the cost if an injury occurs is secondary.
Please proudly share your winning strategies with others in your district. Or if your LivingCenter did not earn the incentive, discuss at your next Safety Committee meeting which programs need to be reviewed and revamped to enable you to earn the SIP in the future.
Award Money Allocated
Each winning LivingCenter is allocated $915 to spend in recognition of its safety accomplishments. (NO check is arriving in the mail!) The Safety Committee and management team should determine the best recognition program (prizes, party, etc.).
Document your decision and feedback in your Safety Committee minutes. Put up a banner or poster if you hold an event to signify that the funding was provided by the Safety Committee due to the great, safe work practices of the employees.
Deadlines
Remember that the money must be spent within 30 days of the award notification.
For the secnd quarter 2015 award, the safety recognition celebration must be completed by Friday, September 11. (It is better to spend the money sooner to reward your employees.)
Spend your award NOW and continue to remind staff to be safe in upcoming months. Thedocumentation of how the money was spent must be submitted by or before, Friday, September 18, in order for the LivingCenter expenditures to be transferred to the appropriate accounts.
