Safety

At W.A. Klinger, safety is a top priority. From construction sites to the completed facilities, we ensure that we meet and exceed regulations to keep all who enter safe, from patients to students and faculty to manufacturers.

Our Safety Measures…

SAFETY-FOCUSED PEOPLE

Our dedicated safety committee and full-time safety director ensure we have adequate human resources laser-focused on ensuring safety. The director of safety works with the superintendent of field operations, project managers, superintendents, foremen, employees, and the safety committee to implement safety policies and monitor our safety goals.

SAFETY BENCHMARKING & MONITORING

We continuously monitor and upgrade our program to ensure our employees are committed to safety.  This commitment has resulted in a steadily declining trend in our experience modification rate and our loss day case incidence rate.

Experience rating is a systematic method of modifying future or prospective workers’ compensation premiums by comparing the actual incurred loss experience to the normal expected loss experience during a consecutive three-year period.

DEDICATED SAFETY EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Our teams undergo continuous, extensive safety education and training, including standard Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) safety programs. Our insurance carrier provides additional safety services including job-site inspections, training, and analysis. Plus, we use safety-related rewards to keep safe practices top of mind and incentivized.

Due to W. A. Klinger’s outstanding safety program, our current Workers Compensation Experience Modification Rate (EMR) is well below the national industry average.
