It is true that OSHA (WISHA) has scrutinized incentive programs. This review resulted in OSHA (WISHA) classifying programs as “traditional” or “non-traditional”. As a result of this review, traditional programs that link rewards to injury reduction, “can provide an inducement for employees to under report injuries and illnesses”, which may be sufficient grounds for issuing citations.
