Sargent has an EMR of 0.55 (as of 1/1/2021) thanks to the dedication and daily safety efforts of our employee-owners. EMR (experience modification rating) is a metric used to set workers’ compensation insurance rates. A score of < 1.0 indicates high safety standards and results. While this metric doesn’t tell the entire story of our safety program, it’s a strong indicator of how safely our people perform.
Experience Modification Rate (EMR) explained
There is an old American proverb that states, “better safe than sorry.” It’s that basic. Safety is the common denominator of every activity we perform.
As a company, we believe building America is a noble calling and a task worth accomplishing. We believe no productivity or profit level justifies exposing our people to undue hazards. We will always strongly prefer mitigating hazards instead of managing injuries.
Cameron is our safety director. Before joining the Sargent family, he worked in various safety roles for companies throughout the Midwest and New England. Cameron enjoys building relationships with employees at every level of our company, and he says that developing trust with each team member is one of the keys to promoting a safe environment. When he’s not working, you can find Cameron enjoying the outdoors.
