Imperial Breaks Safety Records during Company Growth and Expansion
Imperial Crane Services continues to see the benefits of an evolving management philosophy by reaching an unprecedented 2 million man hours without a lost time accident resulting in a drop in their experience modification rate (EMR) to .61. Although Imperial has doubled their man hours and expanded as an organization they have continued to improve their safety record. Reaching nearly 2 million man hours without a lost time accident, while taking on new projects across the country, has been a testament to an effective safety program.
An EMR has a strong impact on business by gauging past cost of injuries and future chances of risk. Imperial’s .61 EMR has set them apart from competition by giving customer’s the assurance of Imperial’s personal committed to safety. Because of this, Imperial has been able to expand their organization through the United State with large, long term projects in Borger, Texas; St. Louis, Missouri; and Tehachapi, California; in addition to their long time Midwest clients.
Imperial’s safety department readjusted their plan to include a growing number of employees in multiple locations. Safety’s headquarters in Bridgeview, IL oversees all aspects of projects through an improved tracking system and onsite management for sites abroad.
Jeanie Hoffman, Imperial Crane’s Safety Specialist, explains, “We are now able to more efficiently track safety trends and insure our employees are not only properly certified, but qualified to Imperial standards. To further maintain direction over the expanding organization, the safety department has sent qualified onsite employees to oversee projects. We are in constant communication with them, keeping them updated on new policies and procedures.”
Starting as a one crane operation, Imperial has grown their rental and sales divisions to create a worldwide organization. Management’s core values of safety and service, with safety taking a precedent over everything, have trickled down to all employees at numerous locations. Their consistently decreasing EMR is a direct result of management and the future of Imperial Crane.
