SRV Construction safety standards: protecting our people and partners
A single worksite accident can halt a project, expose your organization to liability, and erode the trust you have built with your community. At SRV Construction, safety is not a program we implement on paper — it is the standard by which we operate every day.
We believe that injuries and property loss are entirely preventable through disciplined hazard recognition, rigorous pre-task planning, and a workforce that takes collective responsibility for the safety of everyone on site. Our commitment to zero incidents protects our crews, keeps your project on schedule, and ensures full regulatory compliance from the first day of mobilization through final inspection.
Our track record
SRV Construction's Experience Modification Rate (EMR) is 0.75 — significantly below the industry average of 1.0. The EMR is a metric assigned by insurance rating bureaus to measure a company's workers' compensation claim history relative to industry peers. A lower rate reflects a safer operation and typically results in lower insurance costs for our clients and partners. Our 0.75 EMR is direct evidence that our safety culture produces measurable, sustained results across all project types.
How does SRV Construction ensure worksite safety?
Our comprehensive safety program combines site-specific hazard recognition, daily pre-task planning, mandatory PPE requirements, and regular safety meetings. Every superintendent enforces safety protocols as part of their core daily responsibilities, and every employee has the authority to stop work when they identify a concern. Subcontractors working on our sites are held to the same standards.
What is your Experience Modification Rate, and what does it mean?
Our EMR is 0.75, well below the industry average of 1.0. The EMR is calculated by insurance rating bureaus based on a company's workers' compensation claim history compared to peers in the same industry. A lower rate reflects a stronger safety record and demonstrates that our safety practices produce real, measurable results — not just documented policies.
Do you manage safety compliance and permitting?
Yes. We handle all regulatory compliance documentation, secure required federal and local permits, and communicate safety expectations to every subcontractor on the project before mobilization. Our pre-construction planning phase specifically addresses safety compliance so that no gaps exist when active work begins.
What geographic areas does SRV Construction serve?
SRV Construction is headquartered in Anacortes, Washington, and serves commercial, industrial, and government clients primarily throughout western Washington and the Puget Sound region. We routinely mobilize crews and equipment for projects throughout the I-5 corridor and across the greater Pacific Northwest.
Protecting our people, your project, and the surrounding community
Safety is an ongoing commitment at SRV Construction — not a checkbox at the end of the project.
