The safety record
Safety is a number here, because numbers can be checked.
Every contractor says safety is their first priority. We publish the two figures an owner can independently verify, the EMR the rating bureau computes and the TRIR our OSHA logs produce, with their history, next to what we actually do at 6:30 on a Monday morning.
STA 01 Experience modification rate
0.71, and it has fallen every year since 2021.
An EMR of 1.00 means average claims for your payroll and trades. Below 1.00 means your people get hurt less than the industry expects; above it means more. Ours is computed by the rating bureau from our carrier's loss data, not by us, which is exactly why we lead with it. Ask any contractor you are prequalifying for this chart. The good ones have it framed.

STA 02 Where the number comes from
The chart falls because Mondays at 6:30 are non-negotiable.
Every safety word, twice
Orientations, toolbox talks, permits to work, and pre-task plans run in English and Spanish, led by bilingual supervision, not by a translation app. A hazard briefing a worker only half understood is a hazard we created.
Stop-work belongs to everyone
Any worker, any trade, any language can stop work with zero paperwork and zero retaliation, and our safety director, Marisol Vega, CHST, calls that worker personally to say thank you. It has happened 14 times in three years. All 14 were right.
Leading indicators, not just logs
We track near-misses, observation cards, and orientation counts per project per week, the numbers that predict injuries instead of memorializing them. The OSHA 300A summaries still ship in every prequal packet, three years deep.
One number we do not publish: a "days without incident" scoreboard at the gate. It pressures crews to not report. The counter above resets honestly because reporting is the behavior we actually reward.
