Safety Bingo Game Program Safety Pays is NOT just safety bingo. Yes, it has its roots in safety bingo, but the two are as different from one another as a Ferrari is from a Model-T. The term “safety bingo” is a simple workplace incentive concept that’s been around since the 1950’s.

  1. Sign up for a Bingo Baker account.
  2. Generate or find a bingo card for your safety bingo game.
  3. Print out your bingo cards or send your team the bingo URL to play virtually. Bingo Baker generates a unique bingo card for each player so you don't need to worry about duplicate cards.
  4. Begin your game with a base prize of $20 (for example).
  5. Every injury-free workday, call an item from the provided call list, and add money to the prize ($1 to $10 is common).
  6. Your workers can mark that item on their bingo card if they have it.
  7. Continue playing the game daily for a maximum of 30 days (for example) or until someone gets a bingo.
  8. If there is an injury that results in time away from work, you can remove a fixed amount of money from the prize, cut the prize by a percentage, or reset the prize back to the base amount.
  9. If you have reached the end of a 30 day period and someone still hasn't gotten a bingo, call items from the call list until someone wins.
  10. To start a new game either print out a new batch of bingo cards, have your players virtually generate a new bingo card, or simply re-shuffle your call list.

These are just example rules. You will need to adjust them for your company.

An OSHA memo from 2016 contained language which banned rate based incentive programs that withheld or reduced a prize because of a reported safety incident, injury or illness. But in a 2018, OSHA clarified its stance:

Incentive programs can be an important tool to promote workplace safety and health...Another type of incentive program is rate-based and focuses on reducing the number of reported injuries and illnesses. This type of program typically rewards employees with a prize or bonus at the end of an injury-free month or evaluates managers based on their work unit's lack of injuries. Rate-based incentive programs are also permissible under § 1904.35(b)(1)(iv) as long as they are not implemented in a manner that discourages reporting. Thus, if an employer takes a negative action against an employee under a rate-based incentive program, such as withholding a prize or bonus because of a reported injury, OSHA would not cite the employer under § 1904.35(b)(1)(iv) as long as the employer has implemented adequate precautions to ensure that employees feel free to report an injury or illness.

Be sure you read and understand all the OSHA rules regarding rate-based incentive programs before starting your game, including the Clarification of OSHA's Position on Workplace Safety Incentive Programs.

Safety Bingo Tips

  • Keep Your Prize Under $500

    OSHA cites $500 as 'substantial' reward. Keep your prizes well under this to avoid incentivizing non-reporting of injuries or illnesses.

  • Never Reset the Prize to Zero

    For the same reason as above, the prize should never reset back to $0 because an employee reports an injury or illness. Always keep a base amount in the prize, or only remove a fixed amount or percentage of the prize when taking negative action because of a safety incident.

  • Increase the Prize for Reporting

    To ensure you are properly incentivizing reporting, consider adding money to the prize if someone reports unsafe working situations or potential hazards.

  • Handle Multiple Winners

    Because Bingo is a probabilistic game, ensure you have a policy in place if 2 or more people get a bingo at the same time. It's common to split the prize among all the winners evenly.

  • Do the Math

    When creating or using an existing bingo card, make sure you review the probabilities displayed in the 'Probabilities' section of the page. You don't want your bingo game to last too long or be too short. You can calculate your approximate daily prize increase by dividing the maximum prize size (that you decided on) by the number of days your game will last. You may want to reduce that value a bit if you will be increasing the prize for people reporting violations.

Bingo Baker doesn't endorse any particular way of playing safety bingo. It's up to you to decide how you want to play your game in compliance with OSHA rules. But there is a general help page, and specific instructions for conducting a bingo online.
