Title: Imperial’s Safety Program Bares Record Low EMR
Date: 09/23/2010
Bridgeview, IL - Imperial Crane is proud to announce that our Experience Modification Rate (EMR) has reached a record low of .75. We are pleased to obtain this low of a rating in such a high risk business.
An EMR is an informative and important number to any construction company. It is informative because it represents the results of a company’s safety policy. It is important because a high or low EMR can affect their opportunities for potential work. Contractors recognize the benefits of a low EMR and use it to prequalify companies before accepting bids.
Our low EMR has made it possible to continue building relationships with customers such as BP Amoco’s refinery in Whiting, Indiana and CITGO’s refinery in Lemont, Illinois. By participating in their safety programs and establishing our own we have created a “Talk Safety, Live Safety” culture our ownership and staff are dedicated to.
Imperial Crane strives to create an incident and injury free work environment by providing safety training and incentives for our employees. We not only follow OSHA regulations but anticipate and implement future policies, keeping us ahead of the curve.
Because of our commitment to safety we are quickly approaching three years without a lost time accident. Each day about 200 operators are making it home safely. This can be directly attributed to our employees’ participation in our safety programs and an effective and proactive safety staff.
