Safety

Safety Overview

At Samet, safety is a vital part of our culture. Everyone in our company, including subcontractors, vendors, and design professionals, is committed to upholding the highest safety standards in each task we undertake. Our core belief is that everyone who works on our projects must take appropriate corrective actions when they observe anything that may be unsafe. As a result, we have consistently achieved an outstanding safety record, and are regularly recognized through industry awards.

Our strong safety performance is reflected in our low EMR (Experience Modification Rate), which at 0.82 is significantly better than the national average of 1.0. EMR is an industry statistic that is viewed as an accurate indicator of a company's safety record. It is based on the employer's claim history, and is used to determine the company's workman's compensation insurance premium. A lower EMR means fewer accidents, and results in lower insurance costs.

Lower insurance costs for each project is one more way Samet delivers value to our clients.

Samet's Safety Program

To achieve our company-wide focus on safety, Samet has developed a comprehensive safety and health program. Key elements include:

  • On-going safety training provided to all employees, beginning with new-hire orientation and continuing throughout their career
  • Safety certification required for all operations employees
  • All subcontractors must comply with Samet's Subcontractor Safety Program, as a condition of doing business with Samet
  • Pre-employment and post-accident drug and alcohol testing program
  • Formal accident and injury reporting system, followed by analysis and corrective measures
