The whole award is a complete sham and does not promote actual safety whatsoever. It's just an opportunity for teams to annoy the living daylights out of everyone else.

Do we really need 5 million posters plastered on every wall and bathroom stall reminding you to be safe? After a while, they just become ambient decoration and lose their effect.

Anyways, do you really need an award for being safe? Isn't leaving a competition with all your limbs enough? I know we've never once competed for the 'Safety Award'. We choose to keep our pit clean and safe not because of an award, but because we want a clean pit area that is easy to work in and doesn't pose a safety hazard to our team.
This. The promotion of safety in the work environment should be just that, promotion, not a spectacle of obnoxious behavior.

Very frankly, I see it as silly of an award as spirit. (Silly being the reserved term here)
