New York, New York (April 1, 2019) – Posillico is proud to announce its Experience Modification Rate (EMR) of 0.64 for 2019.
A company’s EMR determines how much they pay for workers compensation insurance and helps measure the effectiveness of safety programs in place. The EMR is calculated by comparing a company’s annual losses in insurance claims against its policy premiums over a three-year period.
“Posillico strives to complete all projects safely, on time, on target and on budget. No project is deemed successful unless it is completed safely. Our dedicated employees have always been our most valuable resource and their safety and well-being is paramount to our continued success,” said Joe K. Posillico, President/CEO.
Posillico takes great pride in the health and safety of all its employees. They have implemented numerous policies that are often more protective that the standards set forth by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and have both created and hosted various training courses aimed at making their workforce some of the best trained and most knowledgeable in the industry.
Posillico has an in-house, state-of-the-art training room, which provides the opportunity to continuously train its employees including, but not limited to the following
-
OSHA 10&30-Hour Outreach Training
-
HAZWOPER 40-Hour Training and Annual Refreshers
-
Competent Person Training-confined space, excavation, cranes and fall protection
-
Temporary Traffic Control Zone, MPT (Maintenance and Protection of Traffic)
Every Posillico employee is provided with the proper PPE, (Personal Protective Equipment). All Posillico job sites hold daily safety huddles where they review all required PPE, job related AHA’s (Activity Hazard Analysis), as well as weekly toolbox talks. In addition, Posillico hosts a yearly Safety Stand-Down utilizing a state-of-the-art Mobile Training Unit. The themes of the Safety Stand-Downs focus on the top Four OSHA hazards: Fall, Caught-In-Between, Struck-By, and Electrocution.
In July 2018, Posillico implemented a site surveillance and remote video auditing (RVA) system on its jobsite and in its material facilities to further ensure workers’ safety and accelerate productivity. The collection of data is then used to implement new trainings or procedures. Evolving in one of the most dangerous work environments, Posillico strives to constantly educate and train its employees to maintain safe environments on job sites, develop techniques and work processes to further mitigate risk and to develop a mentality of “see something, say something” to promote accountability and responsibility between all members of the team.
