Cooper Steel Receives 0.61 EMR Rating

We are proud to share that we have received a 0.61 EMR (Experience Modification Rate) score, reflecting our commitment to safety during the 2025 calendar year. During Construction Safety Week, this milestone reinforces what matters most — ensuring every employee returns home safely at the end of each day.

The EMR score number is determined by comparing a company’s safety record and claims history to the expected losses of similar businesses. The industry standard is set at 1.0, with companies scoring below 0.75 considered excellent and significantly safer than the industry average.

Our EMR score directly reflects our company’s focus on operating safely and our employees’ responsibilities to always do the right thing. We continue to strive toward 0 incidents, 0 time lost, and 0 recordables as we show up each day with a safety-first mentality.
