Safety Rankings

Outstanding Performance in Accident Prevention by Traveler's Insurance Company Ten consecutive National S.T.E.P. Platinum Level Awards from the Associated Builders and Contractors Southern Company Triangle Award received since 2006

Working safe is part of Hoar’s moral and cultural character. Working safe is also working smart. What does this mean?

An Experience Modification Rate ( EMR ), based on a company’s worker’s compensation insurance history, determines worker's compensation insurance premiums. The lower the historical injury rate, the lower the EMR and the better the rate. With the baseline national average at 1.0, Hoar's EMR is .77, low for the industry. Proving that safety pays its own dividends, Hoar's insurance premiums are half what some contractors pay.

OSHA requires companies to maintain "recordable incident rates" which measure the number of accidents in which a worker injured today cannot return to work tomorrow. The national average is 6.4 accidents for each 100 employees working 40-hour weeks for a full calendar year. Hoar's rate of 2.33 is almost one third of the national average for the construction industry.
