Did that happen to be on Thursday? The EMT's sat in the corner of the Pit Admin area. They were SOOOOO bored, all weekend long. They got called out to the stands once to assist someone who had fallen; other than that they only had to put on a few band-aids and help with one hangnail. Anyway, the guy on Thurs decided he wasn't going to just sit there, he got into the safety glasses reminders and even made a couple announcements. He also found the stash of safety chips and was passing them out left and right.
The chips were really just a gimmick to get teams to think more about safety. The number of chips was counted on Sat, but the Safety Admins really made the selection for awards based on their observations, not just on chip counts.
