2013 EMR is the lowest in company history

JULY 2013 — Garney’s 2013 preliminary EMR has been issued at 0.53, which is the lowest EMR in our history. An EMR this low is extremely hard to obtain for a company that works in so many states. The more states a company works in, the harder it becomes to drive down the EMR due to the way the NCCI rating formula works. Garney’s ongoing corporate emphasis on safety, spearheaded by Jamie Blystone, Neal Timmons and Ryan Smith, has played a key role in these results. The added focus of the company and our crews on safety has allowed us to lower our accident incident rate, which has a positive impact in helping the company lower its EMR.
