EXPERIENCE MODIFICATION RATE (EMR)

A company’s MOD Rate (EMR) is a numeric figure used by insurance companies to gauge the past costs of worker injuries and as a predictor of future behavior. Basically, the lower your company’s EMR, the less costly your workers compensation. An EMR of 1.0 is the industry average, so a higher EMR will cause your insurance premiums to increase, and sometimes, insurers will even drop you as a client.

No Injury = No Claim = Lower EMR. Oftentimes, the EMR reflects a company’s safety culture. At Verdi, our teams adherence to and support of safety rules and OSHA regulations, along with management’s commitment to providing and promoting a safe work environment, has helped reduce hazards and prevent injuries, therefore lowering our EMR to well below 1.0.

A lower EMR provides constructors with other advantages as well:

  1. Lower overall bids as they do not have to carry as much insurance cost
  2. Ability to bid on more work as certain projects require an EMR of 1.0 or below
  3. Instills client confidence in contractor’s ability to deliver the project in the safest manner

Working safely, and keeping an eye on each other’s actions, as well as our own, is of the utmost importance.

Verdi Construction considers no operation more important than promoting worker safety and health.

As part of management’s continual support of safety awareness and injury prevention, we have developed and implemented a unique safety logo with the accompanying slogan, “It Revolves Around You”. Our goal is to maintain a high level of attention towards safety, and the addition of this symbol will strengthen the ‘safety first’ mentality of everyone on Verdi project sites.

This exciting logo truly depicts Verdi’s culture of safety and our commitment to protecting our employees, as well as those of our subcontractors. We are excited to display this image on all safety-related documentation, high-visibility vests and clothing, and as a sticker on hard hats, company vehicles and Verdi heavy equipment. Complacency can be dangerous, so safety is ever-present at Verdi.
