Johnson Contractors

The Johnson Companies safety program is directed by a Certified Safety Professional with over 35 years of safety experience in all facets of industrial and commercial applications.

 

The Johnson Companies are deeply committed to and take pride in our safety program record. We have a long history of maintaining a low Experience Modification Rating (EMR). As examples, our recent EMR's have been 0.64 for 2023, 0.63 for 2022, 0.57 for 2021, 0.62 for 2020, 0.57 for 2019, 0.62 for 2018, 0.58 for 2017, 0.58 for 2016, and 0.67 for 2015.  Our history of an EMR better than the industry standard reflects the consistent commitment to and importance placed on safety by all our companies and their management and employees.

 

The rigorous safety program followed by all of the Johnson Companies led to the receipt of the Associated General Contractors (AGC) award as the safest contractor in the state of Alabama and to the AGC's Certificate of Commendation for Excellent Safety Record.  The Johnson Companies are committed to maintaining this ranking as one of the top recognized safety programs.
