Safety Services
When a company is owned by its employees, they look out for one another. Just one more benefit of being a true employee-owned company. Employee owners are more concerned about loss ratios and the safety of the work environment, which gives us one of the best safety records in our industry.
Safety is measured by the Experience Modification Rate (EMR), the industry standard for calculating workers compensation premiums. It reflects the frequency and seriousness of a company`s accidents and injuries. 1.0 is the industry average and is considered reasonable. Throughout our history, we have consistently been far below the average - a remarkable safety achievement in the utility construction industry. Our employee owners are dedicated to not only ensuring safe working conditions, but doing all they can to protect our clients, our community and our environment as well.
