ZERO LOST-TIME RECORDABLE INJURIES SINCE 2015

Experience Modification Rate (EMR) substantially impacts a construction company. Insurance companies use this number to gauge the past cost of injuries and future chances of risk. The lower the EMR, the lower the worker compensation insurance premiums, which benefits the client in the form of reduced cost. JTM has an EMR of 0.60, which is significantly lower than the industry average. We have maintained an EMR of less than 1.0, which is the industry average.
