What EMR Means for Our Customers

Written by Tate Engineering | Feb 20, 2025 5:58:21 PM

At Tate Engineering, safety is at the foundation of everything we do. It’s not just about compliance—it’s about protecting our employees, minimizing risks, and delivering reliable service to our customers. That’s why we are incredibly proud to announce that for 2025, Tate Engineering has again achieved an all-time low Experience Modification Rate (EMR) of 0.66.

This milestone is a testament to our commitment to workplace safety and reinforces why customers trust us for their mechanical service needs. But what exactly does an EMR rating mean, and why should it matter to you as a customer?


What is an EMR Rating?

An EMR (Experience Modification Rate) is a key safety. It measures a company's workers' compensation claims history compared to industry averages. The lower the EMR, the better the company’s safety performance.

Here’s how EMR is typically assessed:

  • EMR > 1.0 – Higher-than-average incident rate (higher risk)
  • EMR = 1.0 – Industry average risk level
  • EMR < 1.0 – Safer than industry average

With Tate Engineering’s 2025 EMR of 0.66, we perform significantly better than industry standards in preventing workplace injuries, minimizing exposure, and ensuring a safe work environment.

Why a Low EMR Matters to Our Customers

A lower EMR isn’t just a number—it’s a direct reflection of our commitment to safety and reliability. Here’s how it benefits you as a customer:

 Increased Reliability & Uptime – Safe job sites mean fewer delays, less downtime, and projects completed on schedule.

 Cost Efficiency – A lower EMR helps reduce insurance costs, which allows us to keep pricing competitive and reinvest in safety programs and training.

 Highly Trained Workforce – A strong safety culture attracts and retains top-tier talent, ensuring that only the best-trained professionals are servicing your equipment.

 Confidence & Compliance – Many industries require contractors to meet strict safety standards. Our low EMR provides assurance that we meet and exceed those expectations.

How Tate Engineering Achieved a 0.66 EMR

Earning an EMR of 0.66 doesn’t happen by chance—it’s the result of dedicated safety initiatives, continuous training, and proactive risk management. Here’s what we do to maintain workplace safety:

🔹 Rigorous Employee Training – Our technicians undergo extensive safety training, including OSHA certifications, job-specific hazard prevention, and ongoing education programs.

🔹 Strict Safety Protocols – We enforce comprehensive safety guidelines and conduct regular audits to ensure compliance at every job site.

🔹 Proactive Risk Management – Identifying and mitigating risks before they become hazards is a key part of our safety-first approach.

🔹 Investment in Safety Equipment – We ensure our team has access to top-tier PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), cutting-edge tools, and the latest technology for safer work environments.
