5.2 Safety & Health RequirementsA. Definitions:

B. Safety Rating Status: Rating given to a potential Offeror after review of the potential Offerors EMR, Incident Rate (IR), and Lost Time Incident Rate (LTIR). The EMR, IR and LTIR Hurdle Rates are as follows:

Category A - Preferred. Best subcontractor, Acceptable to bid.

Category B - Conditional. Average subcontractor, BNI S&H Supervisor to review safety program prior to acceptance as a qualified bidder.

Category C - Probationary. Poor subcontractor, Not acceptable to bid without overriding factor and with concurrence of the BNI S&H Supervisor.

These categories are based on the following safety performance statistics:CategoryExperience Modification Rate (EMR*)Lost Time Incident Rate

(LTIR)Incident Rate

(IR)

A.88 or less2.503.50

B1.00 or less4.007.50

C1.00 or more5.6013.50

*These cutoff levels apply to the Interstate EMR. Hurdle rates may vary for state EMRs and must be provided by the ES&H Supervisor. The state rate overrides the Interstate EMR and will determine the bidders category rating.(i) Experience Modification Rate (EMR): An adjustment to the Workers' Compensation experience. An experience modifier of 1.00 is the expected average for a given company and reflects the cost of losses expected for a contractor that employs the various trades.(ii) Hurdle Rates: A number that is set for the upper limits of each evaluation item.(iii) Evaluation Items: EMR, IR (recordable Incident Rate), LTIR (Lost Time Incident Rate)(iv) Incident Rate: The number of injuries, illnesses, or lost workday cases related to a common exposure base enables one to make accurate industry comparisons, trend analysis, overtime, or comparisons among firms regardless of size.This rate is calculated as: N x 200,000

EHWhere:

N = number of recordable injuries and/or illnesses or lost workday cases;

EH = total hours worked by all employees during calendar year;

200,000= base for 100 full-time equivalent employees (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year)C.
