Safety Improvement

Committed to Workplace Safety

The construction industry ranks high in the rates of severe and fatal occupational injuries due to complexity and unpredictable nature of the tasks. Decades long efforts to combat occupational accidents by using various safety improvement approaches have reached a plateau.

JF Foundation reported one of their lowest experience modification ratings (EMR) in nine years. EMR is the rating that insurers use to analyze the safety of job sites as well as a construction company's safety record. The rating compares workers' compensation claims to other employers of similar size, operating in the same type of business.

EMR Rating Categories

• Excellent: 0.40-0.75
• Good: 0.76-1.00
• Average to at risk: 1.01-1.25
• At risk to adverse: 1.26-2.00

A 1.0 rating is the industry average. JF Foundation's most recent rating of 0.65 and its safety improvement trend is a reflection that safety is a core value of the company.
