Construction Management Practice Exam 2025 – Complete Study Guide

The correct choice is workers' compensation because the Experience Modification Rate (EMR) is significantly related to a company's history of workplace injuries and claims. Insurance companies evaluate a construction firm’s EMR to determine the level of risk associated with providing workers' compensation insurance. A lower EMR indicates a better safety record with fewer claims, which can lead to lower insurance premiums. Conversely, a higher EMR suggests a higher level of risk due to more frequent or severe worker injuries, which can result in higher premiums.

While other types of insurance like fire, hazard, and property insurance also play important roles in construction risk management, they do not utilize the EMR in the same way. Instead, those insurances focus on different risk factors such as the potential for property damage or hazards related to specific properties, rather than the safety and claims history of the workforce.
