Safety

Anderson & House is dedicated to taking every precaution to keep our employees safe while working on your project. Our employees attend annual OSHA classes in order to keep our safety sword at its sharpest. Weekly on-site discussions and monthly office talks keep safety a #1 priority in preparing the procedures to fulfill your project needs. Our Experience Modification Rate, as shown below, is a testimony to our dedication to safety in all facets.

The Experience Modification Rate (EMR) is a rate based on a formula used by insurance companies that compares hours worked versus injury claims made. If a company is at the industry average their EMR is 1.0. If a company's experience is 20% better than the industry average than its EMR would be .80 or if it were 20% worse it would be 1.20. We are proud to declare that we have never had an EMR over 1.0 and in recent history, as you can in the chart to the right, has been well above the industry average. We take pride in our safety, almost to a fault!

2007 EMR = .84 2006 EMR = .87 2005 EMR = .85 2004 EMR = .86
