Safety is more than just a word at Taylor Electric. Our current Experience Modification Rte(EMR) is .84, one of the lowest in the Utah market. "It begins with weekly safety meetings that are mandatory and must be signed off on each employee's time card," says Taylor President, Jerald Taylor. " There are always small accidents that require first aid - i.e. cut fingers, bruises, that sort of thing. Only through training and consistent follow-up can you avoid serious injuries that result in pain and suffering as well as lost man hours."

When an employee is hired, the company issues a safety manual that outlines safety procedures. Each employee must read , understand, and agree to abide by these procedures before beginning work on any project. In addition to safety meetings, managers receive safety management training. Taylor Electric has even developed light-duty programs, so that employees with minor injuries don't miss work.

"Our EMR of .84 speaks for itself." states Taylor. "For the customer, this means that installations will take place without disruption. They can be assured their project won't be impacted by an accident that could have and should have been prevented. It also lets our employees know that we sincerely care about their personal well being, and having that knowledge helps keep job satisfaction high."
