I've seen this conversation happen a few times on CD and this hits the nail on the head. I like the idea that we as a community should focus on safety more. I don't like that it is incentivized with an award. This is just asking for teams to go "above and beyond".

Make safety a requirement, not an incentive, and the problem will go away.

EDIT: The "problem" in question is people doing things like posting flyers and screaming robot. I'm still not quite sure what do to about overzealous safety advisors.
