Lehigh Valley Safety Incentive



All employees & family members,
 
Exciting news!   We have a new safety incentive and it involves not only our employees but family members as well!

From now through June 2014, we’ll be hosting safety sessions on various topics, (see attached schedule), that deal with keeping employees and their loved ones safe. For instance, if you have teenage drivers at home, the SafeStart On The Road DVD will help protect them while they drive.  Or the Hurt At Home DVD will help you talk with your family about their minor incidents and injuries in a positive way to help them avoid the line-of-fire.

Family members will be able to participate by helping employees compete in the various contests, (like the Coloring contest or Distracted Driver Awareness contest), - for prizes! We encourage all family members to watch the DVDs at home as well (so they have a better chance with the contests).

For each session that employees attend or each contest that family members participate in, employees will earn Coke tokens! (Note: employees may earn one token per session or contest.)  Employees can then use their Coke tokens to take a chance on prizes with games like Roll the Dice or Turn the Cards at our June SafeStart employee luncheon.

In addition, from April through June 2014, employees will earn one Coke token per each month that they go without a recordable injury or chargeable accident.  Employees that have earned 11 or more tokens during the incentive may take a chance at winning the Grand Prize of a $500 gift card.

Don’t Gamble with Safety!  Keep your eyes and mind on task!
