Have you ever heard the term EMR (Experience Modification Rate) and wondered precisely what that meant? Simply put, it’s when a company’s workers’ compensation insurance carrier calculates its historical cost of injuries and the likelihood of future risk. The average EMR is 1.0, indicating that the company is neither more nor less risky than most other companies to be at risk of a compensable incident.
At ARC Services, our current EMR rate is .64, demonstrating the success of our company’s safety culture over the years. Since its establishment in 2010, ARC Services has continuously strived to provide its employees with a safe and healthy working environment. Our safety culture begins with management and site supervision supporting employees' right to a safe and healthy workplace. The first action taken on any site is for employees to complete a written Pre-Job Brief before starting any work task. This covers what tasks they will be doing and how to perform them safely. Additionally, the company's management and supervision actively support employees in identifying and reporting hazards, and they encourage a questioning attitude and peer-to-peer coaching among employees to be proactive and not reactive in preventing work-related incidents.
