His concepts have yielded highly sustained results in the areas of:

Safety Recognition and Motivation
In 1990, Jack was credited with creating the first scratch off recognition system for safety. Scratch Safe® quickly became a national success and changed the way that employees were recognized for safety performance from that time forward. Today, there has been an astounding 1,500,000 employees participate in the program.
Shortly after the launch of Scratch Safe®‚ Jack realized that reducing accident frequency and severity is the result of an integrated combination of efforts such as training, awareness, and then recognition. The reason incentives and recognition are an integral part of safety programs is that they effectively secure an employee’s attention to management’s goals. A well-designed recognition program encourages and rewards positive safety-related behavior. From that ideology spawned a revolution in the ability to create impactful training posters and graphics with our cutting edge Power Tools for Safety awareness programs.
Today, his programs currently impact 400,000 employees on a daily basis. His award winning programs have created dynamic, sustained results while saving America’s largest employers an estimated $185,000,000 in incurred costs.
