EMR RATING
What is an EMR rating?
Boland's
EMR Safety Rating
.59
The Experience Modification Rate (EMR) is used to calculate a company’s worker compensation premium for insurance purposes. This rating is derived from several factors, including:
-
Frequency and severity of losses and claims
-
Comparison to the industry average (set at a score of 1.0)
-
Review of scores of a three to four year period, payroll, and more
What does this mean?
This communicates to you if the company is a greater risk than the national industry average or a lesser and better risk than the industry average and if they are paying higher premiums per employee compared to their peers. A company with an EMR of 1.2 has more losses and claims than average and is paying 20% more than average. A company with an EMR of 0.9 has less losses and claims and pays 10% less than average.
Regard for the safety of the general public, our own associates, our clients, and our subcontractors is the core responsibility at all levels of our organization. Our ultimate goal is to keep our associates and business partners accident and injury free! Boland’s program has been developed to assure compliance with Federal, State, and Local regulations with particular emphasis on the OSHA requirements that apply to our operations.
