Safety is paramount in the construction industry, and Pyramid Contracting is proud to announce a significant milestone: achieving an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) of .70! This outstanding rating reflects our unwavering commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy work environment for our employees, subcontractors, and the community.
What is an EMR?
The EMR is a critical safety metric used by insurance companies to assess a company’s risk for workplace accidents. It compares a company’s workers’ compensation claims history to the industry average. An EMR of 1.0 is considered the average. A rating below 1.0, like ours at .70, indicates a safer-than-average performance.
What does a .70 EMR mean for Pyramid Contracting?
- Industry-Leading Safety: It demonstrates our dedication to exceeding industry safety standards.
- Reduced Risk: It showcases our proactive approach to preventing accidents and injuries.
- Trusted Partner: It reinforces our reputation as a reliable and responsible contractor for our clients and partners.
- Cost Savings: It can lead to lower insurance premiums and project costs.
How did we achieve this?
Our commitment to safety is ingrained in our company culture. We achieve this through:
- Comprehensive Safety Programs: We have rigorous safety protocols in place, approved by the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of Energy (DOE), that exceed industry standards.
- Extensive Training: Our team undergoes regular training and certifications, including OSHA 30-Hour, CPR/First Aid, fall protection, and confined space training.
- Proactive Risk Management: We conduct thorough risk assessments and implement preventive measures to mitigate potential hazards on every project.
- Continuous Improvement: We constantly evaluate our safety practices, seeking ways to enhance our programs and create an even safer work environment.
