OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFE PRODUCTION
Hawkins
Construction is particularly proud of its proprietary Safe Production
program. Operating safe construction sites is one of our critical
priorities that benefit our employees, subcontractors and clients.
Our team includes a fully dedicated safety manger and risk assessor.
We conduct quarterly management safety meetings and weekly field
safety meetings. Most importantly, we truly believe safety is the
first priority, and have made it a core element of our operations.
Hawkins
Construction’s Experience Modifier Rate (EMR) has averaged
.53 for the past three years. EMR is the construction industry’s
accepted way of gauging a company’s safety performance track
record. EMR is based on actual payroll data and Workmans’
Compensation claims, so it provides an accurate representation of
our safety record. The industry considers an EMR of 1.0 to be average;
anything above that is below average, and an EMR below 1.0 is considered
excellent. This is one instance where a lower score is better.
So
as you can see, Hawkins Construction’s safety record far exceeds
the industry average. This means lower insurance costs with our
savings passed on to our clients. But most importantly, our EMR
represents our commitment to the health and welfare of our employees
and others on or around our job sites.
