Committed to Safety

Saving Money With a Safer Environment

At Academy Roofing & Sheet Metal Co, we are committed to the safety of our employees and customers. It is a basic responsibility for every employee to be mindful of their own safety and the safety of others as part of their daily work.

Regardless of the capacity in which he or she functions, this responsibility must be accepted for anyone conducting affairs for the company. The cooperation of our employees and management with this policy provides safe working conditions and accident-free performance.

Calculated by the National Council on Compensation Insurance, our current Experience Modification Rate (EMR) is .71 – compared to the national average of 1.00. This means our worker’s compensation losses are well below the industry average helping keep our insurance premiums lower. This is a win-win situation. Our employees are working in a safer environment while we save money at the same time.
