OOooo... There's the big one. How do you reward safety? If you pay a bonus for 'safety,' you'll probably kill incident reporting overnight and end up like a third world airline. An airline that is so safe they have no incidents (reported) whatsoever. Taking the opposite approach may pay dividends, if you can control the paperwork, that is. If you publish each and every report, score them and say what you have done to fix the reported problems you can then have a 'no-strings-attached' party to calibrate the open culture you have created, sponsored by the Safety Dept. Cash is not a motivator.
