I work in the LTL industry, if we go 30 days without an accident or an injury we get a free BBQ day with unlimited food for everyone. We’re talking burgers, hotdogs, chilli, chowder, chips, drinks, etc. Sometimes they even do catering. Our last one they did Hawaiian Food for 2 days (they got too much) which definitely made everyone happy.

I’ve been there for almost 10 years, we average about 2 per year.

  Less than Truck Load
  
  Basically if a company want to ship pallets of crap but they don’t have enough to justify using their own truck
  
  Think TForce, YRC, Oak Harbor, FedEx Freight, etc.

    Right. I’m not American though, so I don’t recognise any of those companies except for FedEx.

I wonder if that’s still cheaper, because it makes people value safety of others but also because it raises the burden to report smaller accidents and workmans comp fraud because of peer pressure.

  The cost is in the lost productivity from having someone off work with injuries. A barbecue every 6 months seems like a bargain.

    It really is, the average time loss injury in our company is usually upwards of 30k down the drain. And just an accident can be catastrophic in terms of cost as well.
    
    A BBQ compared to that is nothing.
