Official statutory text
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 69. Roads, Bridges, and Ferries Page 381
It is the intent of the Legislature that the promotion of safety
in the workplace is a legitimate public purpose. In order to
establish a public employee benefit program to encourage safety in
the workplace, the Department of Transportation is hereby directed
to establish an on-the-job employee safety program which encourages
work unit safety and reduces lost productivity and compensation
costs. In order to promote job safety in work units and provide
recognition for work units with exceptional safety records, the
Department of Transportation is authorized to expend from monies
available in the State Highway Construction and Maintenance Fund so
much thereof as may be necessary for the purchase of recognition
awards for presentation to the members of work units or individual
employees with exceptional safety records. Recognition awards shall
consist of distinctive wearing apparel, service pins, or U.S.
Savings Bonds, and other appropriate awards, the value of which
shall not exceed Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) per employee, which
recognizes the safety achievement of the work unit or individual
employees.
