We understand the critical importance of safety. Since our inception, it has been our endeavor to develop a truly elite safety organization. McDonnel works constantly to maintain this elite status through a program that embodies all of the following:

  • Organizational culture of safety that starts at the top
  • Accident prevention, with a strong emphasis on training
  • Aggressive claims management that minimizes costs but includes the very best in medical care and rapid return to work objectives
  • Safety Reporting System that includes accountability at all levels of the organization
  • Safety Incentive System that recognizes and rewards safety excellence

The results speak for themselves and we are proud to list some of our most notable safety facts:

  • Experience Modification Rate (EMR) well below market average for the past 14 years
  • Full-time safety professionals and entire trained staff with unsurpassed safety experience
  • Strict and consistently enforced the Substance Abuse Program. Our written policy includes an employee education and awareness program, a supervisory training program, drug and alcohol testing of all employees, and an Employee Assistance Program

ZERO Claims for Latent Defects, Water Infiltration, or Safety Incidents, and zero Delays to Client Move-In.

  • Culture of safety, starting at the top of the organization
  • Accident prevention with a strong emphasis on training
  • Aggressive claims management, minimizing cost
  • The very best in medical care and rapid return to work initiatives
  • Safety reporting system, holding all levels of the organization accountable
  • Safety incentive system, rewarding safety excellence
