At Interstate, job safety is part of our culture

Interstate is known throughout the construction industry for having a working culture built around job safety. In fact, many project managers and facilities engineers choose Interstate specifically because of our safety record.

Safety performance is measured by the modification rate (EMR)* that Workers Compensation assigns to each organization. Interstate presently has an EMR of .69, and has achieved similar results for the past 5 years. The current industry average is: 1.0, anything below that is considered outstanding.

Interstate's safety committee works to insure that our programs stay current with changing trends and regulations. In addition to mandatory annual CPR training and bi-annual first aid training our field personnel receive:

On site, weekly safety updates
Interstate periodically conducts safety seminars that are available to each employee
