Effective intervention to reduce occupational injuries in Alberta: a case study of financial incentives.
High injury rates in particular industries in Alberta, Canada were the impetus for government initiatives to control injury frequency and severity. Safety associations, a financial incentives program, research projects, and safety demonstrations substantially decreased injury rates within 5 years. Since then, companies manage their own performance, but undergo periodic audits.
