Planning for safety begins with the design of the project and continues through the entire construction process, as well as post-construction service and maintenance. Our “Safety Starts at Home" philosophy includes the following key components: 

​

• Buy-in and support, starting at the top 

• Dedicated safety professionals on staff 

• Employee safety training program 

• Drug and alcohol screening 

• Safety rewards program 

• Routine “Toolbox Safety Talks” conducted by site foremen 

• Internal and external job site safety audits 

• Proper PPE training, use, and enforcement 

EMR is a crucial metric for measuring a company's safety performance in the construction industry. Companies with lower EMR ratings are typically more attractive to potential clients and partners. The average EMR rating is set at 1.0, representing the industry standard. When a business has an EMR lower than 1.0, it indicates a better-than-average safety record (credit).

Modern has maintained an EMR Rating of .60 in 2022, 2023 and 2024. Most recently our safety score was awarded .49.
