Safety by the numbers
Safety is the first word in our logo. These are the numbers behind it, from our workers’ compensation carrier and our OSHA logs.
| Year | Hours worked | Recordable injuries | Days away or restricted | TRIR | DART |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 136,495 | 0 | 0 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
| 2024 | 93,255 | 0 | 0 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
| 2023 | 68,814 | 0 | 0 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
| Three years | 298,564 | 0 | 0 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
| Experience Modification Rate | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| EMR (1.00 = industry average; lower is better) | 0.75 | 0.78 | 0.76 |
TRIR = recordable injuries × 200,000 ÷ hours worked; DART counts cases with days away, restricted or transferred. Figures from our signed OSHA 300A summaries and our workers’ compensation carrier’s annual EMR letters.
An EMR of 0.76 means our insurer rates our loss history about 24 percent better than the average contractor doing the same work. Every GEI crew starts the day with a pre-task plan, works under a competent person, and is measured on safety weekly, not annually. Our safety program and certifications are available to owners and general contractors on request.
How we work
What is behind the numbers
Pre-task plan, every day
Every crew starts with a written pre-task plan that names the hazards, the controls and who is responsible for each, and stops to redo it when the work changes.
Locate, daylight, then dig
Public 811 plus our own True-Spot locating, then hydro excavation to expose every critical line before a bucket touches the ground.
Trench protection
Engineered trench boxes or shoring on every excavation deeper than five feet, with a competent person on site and daily inspections.
Fall protection on every lift
Harness and tie-off on every aerial lift and bucket truck, every time, on power and telecom work alike.
Equipment that passes inspection
A late-model fleet on a documented inspection schedule, so the crew is never working around a defect.
Measured weekly, not yearly
Safety observations, near-miss reporting, meeting attendance and crew safety scores are tracked in our own system and reviewed every week.
