SAFETY SPOTLIGHTNATIONAL STEEL CITY REPORTS 1.18
RECORDABLE INCIDENT RATE TO OSHA
Superlative safety score is five times lower than the average steel
erection contractor, affirming commitment to safety as a company value.
In February, NSC announced it reported a 1.18
Recordable Incident Rate to the Occupational Health and Safety
Administration (OSHA). The score, approximately five times lower than the average steel erection contractor, affirms National and Steel City's
commitment to safety as a company value.
The company also highlighted its extremely competitive  Experience
Modification Rate (EMR) as an example of its commitment to continuous
safety excellence. A competitive, or low, EMR means a lower cost for
workers compensation insurance and cost savings for customers. "We employ only the most qualified safety managers on our
construction projects, all of whom report directly to me and I am
personally involved in reviewing our daily safety reports," said National Steel City CEO Bob Dunn. "Thanks to our important
alliance with FDRsafety, we've not only built and perpetuated an
outstanding safety track record, but instilled a culture of safety that
helps us remain competitive for our customers and ahead of the curve as a
company."FDRsafety President Jim Stanley, who rose to the position of Deputy
Assistant Secretary of Labor in the United States government's
Department of Labor, regularly consults with National Steel City on
its corporate safety program and on all projects. Stanley delivers
advice, counsel and training for all managers and supervisors, and has
counseled senior managers, presented at company meetings, and submitted
safety articles for company publications."I believe National Steel City continues to
serve as a model example of a company committed to safety excellence,"
Stanley said. "It's not enough to make safety a priority. Safety must
become an inherent company value because priorities always change, and
such a commitment always begins at the top."______________________________________________________________________________________
