SAFETY BY THE NUMBERS A Message From Our CEO
SIR recently wrapped up our annual Safety Awareness Month, a time when we review training, update certifications, and reinforce the standards that keep our team and customers safe. That commitment continues to show up in our results. For the fourth consecutive year, our Experience Modification Rate (EMR) has decreased and remains well below 1.0, reflecting performance above industry average.
As CEO Mike Hastings states, safety at SIR isn’t just a program, it’s part of our culture and a daily commitment across every project.

Customized Plans That Protect Your Systems
We didn’t see much of a cold winter, and temperatures are already starting to climb. As systems head into warmer months, refrigeration equipment will be working harder to keep up.
Now is the time to schedule inspections, oil checks, vibration monitoring, and performance reviews to help prevent unexpected downtime.
The IIAR Conference is the annual must-attend event for the industrial refrigeration industry, bringing together leading experts in natural refrigeration to share knowledge, research, and best practices. From an engineering perspective, it provides critical updates on safety standards and technical developments that directly influence how systems are designed and implemented. It also serves as a valuable training ground for emerging technologies and evolving industry approaches.
As Mike Sansom, PE, SIR’s Engineering Manager, explains, staying connected through IIAR helps ensure our team remains at the forefront of sustainable, future-focused engineering. “It’s where we gain the insights needed to deliver safer, more efficient systems for our clients while staying ahead of changing environmental regulations.”
