Beginner to elite, you can unleash the beast and experience savage gains! Total body training gives an athlete the opportunity to train more frequently by hitting every body part multiple times per week without the risk of overtraining. One of the biggest criticisms of total body training is the lack of specialization.
Since athletes are training so frequently, workouts tend to focus solely on strength and size. That definitely has its benefits but it also leaves a lot to be desired in other departments. Dedicated power days to develop explosive movement and savage power. Serious training requires serious recovery.
If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. The same applies to earning the title of Total Beast. You wanna be a beast? This will naturally reduce the number of accidents and your EMR rating in return. A Californian company, Nationwide Boiler, managed this feat in July by scoring 0. To work out whether you are succeeding with your EMR, you need to look at the trending data. Scoring a 0. However, if your last rating was 0. It is important to lower your EMR because it can cut your costs significantly.
At the same time, a high score can harm your competitiveness. If you have an EMR of 1. This allows the other companies to pass on discounts to their customers and undercut you, which shows why a lower EMR should be a matter of urgency for business owners. Improving your workplace safety culture to ensure that you cut incidents and injuries is the major way to lower your EMR.
The fewer claims workers make, the lower your premiums. Conducting daily toolbox talks , encouraging incident reporting , monitoring near misses , and other similar tactics can all help improve safety on site.
A back-to-work plan for injured employees will get them back into the workplace, and it can have a positive effect on your average EMR. These plans often include modifying their roles and adjusting their workstations to improve safety and provide accessibility. You may also talk to your underwriter or insurance agent about adjusting your EMR in some situations.
For example, if you take over a firm with a 0. Here, as long as you can prove that you are dedicated to maintaining the safety culture of the previous owner, you may have a case. In California, the rating is referred to as an XMod, while some people call it an e-mod or experience modification factor.
Claims affect your experience ratings for three financial years. Of course, if you have progressively fewer claims each year, your total number of claims reduces and your EMR lowers. Implementing a safety program can help you achieve a lower EMR. This contract was eventually removed from consideration for use of ARRA funds no employment or utilization goals in a typical JOC contract.

The OSC expressed concerns to the Department regarding several issues with JOC contracts, including letting contracts with similar scope and project limits with overlapping time frames; payment of Engineers Field Offices and associated items such as office supplies and cell phones through these contracts; and the depth and type of guidance Regions are receiving to administer and manage these contracts.
OSC requested the Department to provide specific guidelines for the design, scoping, and administration of JOC contracts. During the development and acceptance of this guidance document, the administrative processing of JOC contracts was deferred. The requirement to place the contract on the STIP coupled with the frequent changes in the capital program leads program managers to the use of SDF for maintenance contracting. In particular, contracts within the pilot are limited to one extension, whereas three extensions are allowable in SDF contracts.
A descriptive title for each of the job orders is attached Attachment II. A review of the description given to each of the projects indicates work ordered is consistent with federal-aid eligibility requirements. Two of the contracts include a job order for a stand-by readiness item requiring the contractor to be prepared to respond to emergencies.
The standby readiness item has been removed from all Construction Task Catalogs as of January 3 rd , because of concerns raised by the Office of the State Comptroller. Descriptions for three job orders warranted additional review. In Region 6 D the contractor was ordered to repair a waterline Belmont Waterline Repair on a recently completed bridge. In Region 9 D the contractor was ordered to perform concrete and deck repairs on a culvert C in response to a safety flag issued by the inspector. A second culvert repair was ordered under contract D Route 34 Culvert Invert Paving for the repair of the invert.
Continuation of the program would require additional guidance on eligible job orders under the FHWA agreement for eligible element-level bridge projects. The standby readiness item has been removed from all CTCs as of January 3 rd , The item may be reestablished in SDF contracts with an approved revision of the specification by the Office of the State Comptroller.
Can JOC contracts help the Department meet the forecasted bridge preservation needs? Bridge preservation includes cyclical maintenance actions and minor repairs. JOC is not the appropriate delivery vehicle for cyclical maintenance actions washing, sealing, lubricating bearings.
JOC does provide a vehicle to attend to minor repairs in a timely manner. The traditional contracting process does not provide the flexibility to respond to the needs of an aging asset.
Four bids were submitted on three of the six federal-aid bridge JOCs. One had three bidders, two bids were given for the last two. What changes in contract language would be necessary to meet Federal Title 23 requirements? What affect will these changes have in the administration of JOC contracts? Will the changes impact the JOC process? What other transportation activities could be effectively contracted through JOC? There has been some preliminary discussion on the possibility of scoping an element level highway repair JOC that meets federal aid requirements.
One other is for traffic control services that would allow bridge inspectors access to the structure and maintenance personnel to perform federal aid eligible element level work.
Can JOC contracts be scoped to meet Federal-aid requirements for additional assets? Can JOC be used for federally-eligible highway preservation and maintenance projects?
A standard note in contracts requires that all work performed is to be covered by and in conformity with the Standard Specifications. The Standard Specifications include Changed Condition clauses. Work in a JOC contract is issued through work orders.
In the event differing site conditions are encountered or a significant change in the quantity for an item of work is discovered, a subsequent job order is created. The practice can be seen in the list of job orders listed Appendix I. No Disputed Work notices have been filed to-date. Staffing requirements for the oversight and administration of the JOC contracts. JOC requires an administrator to prepare and prioritize requested projects.
This is typically a staff person from the Operations Division. Staffing for the administration of the contract is similar to traditional contracts. In most cases an EIC and an inspector are assigned to the contract. Is the contractor able and willing to prepare job order proposals in a timely manner? Contractors are able to prepare job orders in a timely manner. Initially a few contractor superintendants were slow to respond to the State's request for a proposal.
Once they became comfortable with the pricing in the Construction Task Catalog, the turnaround time improved. Are the necessary items and quantities in the book? The consultant continues to improve the CTC. Although the catalog is extensive, a few items needed to be added or broken down further. During the reporting period the item for form and pour concrete repairs was modified to include fascia repairs and bridge access equipment items were tailored to include over-the-rail scaffolding.
Were additional items added to the Construction Task Catalog? Was the allowable mutually agreed upon extension requested for any of the Federal aid contracts? This has been done on state funded contracts. As of this time, none of the federal aid contracts were extended. Many state dedicated funded contracts have been extended.
Can the benefits of the JOC contracting mechanism be quantified? What can be measured? The commonly voiced benefit of JOC is the ability to respond to a variety of needs. A limited cost comparison is included in the two year review. Has all work performed meet the limits of programmatic categorical exclusion? Have the procedures listed in the Environmental Handbook for Transportation Operations been followed?
