Is your program built on sand?
Answer honestly. You will see your score, how each layer of your foundation holds up, what your EMod is telling you, and the one weak spot to fix first.
Safety program
Your written programs, records, and how they hold up.
We have a current written safety manual.
Our safety manual was reviewed or updated in the last 12 months.
Our manual includes a Hazard Communication (HazCom) program.
How you label chemicals, keep Safety Data Sheets, and train on chemical hazards.
Our manual addresses Bloodborne Pathogens.
Required if any employee is expected to give first aid or may contact blood.
We have a written document identifying the safety hazards in our company.
A hazard assessment or job hazard analysis (JHA).
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are current for every chemical we use.
The manufacturer sheet that explains each chemical’s hazards and first aid.
We keep the last 3 years of OSHA 300 logs and 300A summaries.
If required, we submit our injury data to OSHA electronically each year.
Required for establishments with 250 or more employees, and 20 to 249 in certain industries.
Required OSHA posters are current and displayed.
Training and inspections
Whether your people know the program, and whether anyone checks.
We train employees on a regular schedule.
Employees get HazCom and Bloodborne Pathogens training every year.
Every new hire gets safety orientation before starting work.
We keep sign in sheets or records for every training.
We inspect job sites and crews’ work on a schedule.
We document those inspections and fix what we find.
Storage areas are clean, organized, and labeled.
We have a written accountability program for safety rules.
The steps taken when company safety rules are not followed.
Every incident and near miss is investigated and corrective actions are closed.
Workers' comp and EMod
What your claims history is costing you, and what is driving it.
We know our current EMod.
Your experience modification rate, on your workers’ comp policy or rating worksheet.
Our EMod is below 1.00.
Below 1.00 earns a premium credit. Above 1.00 adds a surcharge.
We have had a lost time injury in the last 3 years.
An injury that kept someone off work for at least one full shift.
A client has asked about our EMod, or we lost a bid because of it.
We have a return to work or light duty program.
Getting injured workers back on modified duty keeps claims smaller.
Injuries are reported to our insurer within 24 hours.
Late reporting is one of the biggest drivers of claim cost.
We review our EMod worksheet and loss runs every year for errors.
Wrong reserves, closed claims still open, and misreported payroll inflate EMods.
Our payroll is reported under the correct class codes.
Environmental (EPA)
Oil storage, hazardous waste, stormwater, and reporting.
We know whether we need an SPCC plan for oil storage.
Generally required above 1,320 gallons of oil stored aboveground.
We know our hazardous waste generator status, and have an EPA ID if required.
Hazardous waste containers are closed, labeled, dated, and inspected.
We have stormwater permits and a SWPPP where required.
Construction disturbing 1 acre or more, and many industrial sites.
We have a spill response plan and stocked spill kits.
We file required environmental reports, like Tier II, on time.
ISO management systems
ISO 45001, 14001, and 9001 readiness.
We know which ISO standards our clients expect (45001, 14001, or 9001).
We have a documented management system: policy, objectives, and procedures.
Everyone works from the current version of our procedures.
Document control.
We run internal audits at least once a year.
Management reviews system performance on a set schedule.
Nonconformities are tracked with corrective actions to closure.
