Here are a set of sample SAFETY BINGO rules: They are very basic. The rules may be customized in order to accomplish your safety goals. After creating your game rules, you may want to print them and post them in a visible area.

OSHA Compliant Sample Safety Bingo Rules:

Each employee is given a B-SAFE card, and the game is played like regular bingo.
Each working day, a B-SAFE number is drawn. Daily numbers are posted on the B-SAFE game
poster.

Your employees will check their cards each day and begin encouraging one another to work safely in order to keep the game going. As a result, safety awareness will increase and your safety results should improve.

1. One B-SAFE Bingo number will be drawn each working day and posted on the B-SAFE Bingo poster by 11 a.m.
2. Employees should check their B-SAFE Bingo card every day. If you have a winning number, circle it or cross it out lightly so that the winning numbers are still visible.

3. Cards will be the sole responsibility of the employee. Once the game has started, no new cards will be issued with the exception of new employees.

4. Employees will have the opportunity to receive a $10 bonus and a B-SAFE Gold card by submitting a written hazard identification form. Forms are available from your supervisor or at the HR office. Submissions must be thoughtful and actionable, as determined by management.

5. The game will start with $25 in the jackpot and increase one dollar per day to a maximum of $100. Should an injury occur that requires lost time, the current game will end, and the jackpot will return to $25, starting a new game.

  • B-SAFE bingo wins twelve ways: Horizontally, Vertically & Diagonally.
  • Bring your winning card to the Human Resources Department for verification.
  • You have until the daily number is posted on your next regularly scheduled shift to turn in a winning card.
  • In order to win, you must check your B-SAFE card every day.

6. Use the free space in the middle and win with five numbers in a row.

7. In the event of multiple winners for the same B-SAFE number, the jackpot will be divided equally between the day’s winners.

8. It is impossible to cover all situations that may arise. Management will make the final decisions regarding any unforeseen situations.

9. IMPORTANT! Employees must report all injuries to management for proper treatment. Simply reporting a work injury does not stop the game. The game ends only when an employee’s work injury becomes lost time. We are committed to ensuring that every employee is free to report any work injury or illness without fear of retaliation. If you experience retaliation for reporting a work injury or illness report this immediately to your supervisor or our Safety Coordinator.

Complete OSHA compliant requirements are included in our B-SAFE Bingo guidebook, included with each Bingo kit.

Whenever there is a discussion of safety incentive programs, invariably safety bingo is mentioned. It clearly has been the most used and imitated incentive plan for business, and continues to be used after more than 30 years. It shouldn’t be!

I have a number of problems with the whole concept, but here is the top one. As safety professionals, or human resource professionals, we are leaders, looked up to provide the right guidance and support. In the area of safety, that guidance is crucial, because we know that many of the jobs that are performed by the people for whom we have responsibility are dangerous. We tell them and warn them, and provide training, PPE and education to insure that they perform those jobs safely.

And to motivate them we play bingo. Really?

Is there a greater disconnect than that? It is insulting and unserious, and carries the opposite message that we are trying so hard to get across. There is value in a well-designed safety recognition program, but there is no value in bingo.
