Bristow bonuses for management are tied to "no accidents"
Sounds very BRITISH.
Vesteys who owned a string of cattle stations right across northern oz once used to have a system where their managers were rewarded with a bonus on the money that they saved on their yearly food budget.

Ever tried working a gang of men (14) on a single bottle of tomato sauce for a week? Bread, beef, flour, tea, sugar and treacle was the usual fare. no refrigeration. had a mutiny once which was resolved with - you got it - another bottle of termata sauce.
