After reading about the Johnson Employment Services’ success, you review your company’s injury rates and EMR, which is also greater than 1.0 at 1.2. Your employees perform some of the same functions as Johnson Employment Services, and you also have individual safety compliance programs, but you wonder if an overall safety and health program might reduce your company’s injury rate and EMR as well.
