W. M. Jordan Company is committed to providing a safe work environment on every project we build. By its very nature, construction is a dangerous endeavor. Our clients and our workers depend upon our knowledge and expertise in safe building practices to prevent accidents and protect the public and property during construction. Minimizing exposure to unsafe conditions and managing risk are essential to maintaining safe working conditions. The key components to the effectiveness of our program are planning, training, accountability, and constant diligence.
W. M. Jordan Company has one of the most enviable safety records in the nation. In fact, W. M. Jordan's Experience Modification Rate (EMR) is consistently below the national average of all construction companies. This rating reduces the cost of our Worker's Compensation Insurance, thus reducing costs to our clients. That's not only good for our workforce, it's good for the bottom line of your project, too.
W. M. Jordan Company's safety professionals lead the effort to promote, support, and maintain safe, clean and efficient job sites. Scott Sutton, our Director of Loss Prevention, administers W. M. Jordan Company's safety program. In addition, our Safety Managers spend all of their time visiting each project site, providing oversight and training for our Project Superintendents and subcontractors.
The Project Superintendent is responsible for maintaining a clean, orderly project site and safe operations on a daily basis. W. M. Jordan Company's Safety Program emphasizes policies such as 100% drug-free workplaces, requirements for hard hats and eye protection on all sites, and rewards for excellent performance. Our three-tiered "Coach, Counsel, Confront" approach to managing safe operations, combined with high expectations and enforcement, has proven effective in managing the risk inherent in our work.
