Everyday safety work

Find the project. See the work around it.

Panora brings projects, field forms, people and records into a workspace configured for your company, including its branding. Start with the project list, open the work you need, and keep the supporting information together.

For admins and safety managers, the project map adds a regional view of configured locations. Search by project, client or place, filter active and planned work, and open the project dashboard. Projects without a location remain in the list.

The map shows project locations and regional boundaries. Available tools depend on your company's enabled modules and your role.

Emergency response

When the day changes, response tools are there too.

Alongside daily work, Panora supports incident reporting, emergency alerts and muster/headcount when needed. These capabilities depend on the modules and access configured for your company.

Report from the field

Bring incident and hazard reports into the safety record.

Coordinate a response

Use emergency alerts to support your team's response process.

Account for people

Use muster and headcount to review who has responded when an event occurs.

The money side

And your workers' comp premium comes down with it.

Your EMR is the number your carrier multiplies your workers' comp premium by. It compares your claims history to others in your industry. 1.0 is average. Below 1.0 you pay less than average for the same coverage, above it you pay a penalty, and many general contractors won't let you bid at all above a set threshold. Fewer incidents move it down, and the premium follows.

Nobody needs to know that acronym to use the app. It just means the safety work pays for itself.

One partner. Three moves.

Most safety firms hand you a binder. We hand you software your crews actually open.

The app, the safety program behind it, and the insurance that rides on both, from one certified operator instead of three vendors who don't talk to each other.

01

Organize the work

Use Panora for projects, forms, people and records, with company branding, modules and access configured around your operation.

02

Run the program

We build and manage the safety management system behind it: training, audits, claims control, OSHA-ready documentation.

03

Cut the cost

Fewer incidents drive your experience modifier down, and your workers' comp premium follows it. That is money back every renewal.

Answers

What contractors ask before the first call.

What can my team do in Panora?
Panora brings projects, permits and safety forms, people, contractor information, documents and project KPIs into a company-branded workspace. Admins and safety managers can use the project map to find configured locations and open project dashboards. Incident reporting, alerts and muster/headcount support emergency response when needed. Available modules and access depend on company configuration and role.
What is an EMR rating and why does it matter?
Your Experience Modification Rate (EMR) is a number that compares your workers' compensation claims history to others in your industry. An EMR of 1.0 is average. Below 1.0 means you pay less than average for the same coverage; above 1.0 means you pay a penalty. Because your premium is multiplied by your EMR, lowering it directly lowers what you pay, and many general contractors won't let you bid a job with an EMR above a set threshold.
How much can a lower EMR actually save?
It depends on your payroll, current mod, and loss history, but the savings scale directly with premium: cut the modifier and the premium follows. Our free review gives you a specific, defensible number for your business rather than a generic figure. The estimator above is a directional starting point.
How long until I actually see the savings?
Your mod is calculated on roughly three years of payroll and loss history, so it moves over one to three policy years rather than overnight. The safety and claims work starts protecting your next mod right away, and we show you the realistic timeline for your specific situation in the free review.
Why would a licensed insurance agent want to lower my premium?
Fair question, and the honest answer is our model. We lead with the safety work that reduces your total cost of risk, and we earn on the long-term relationship of running your program and your software, not on maximizing a single premium. Lowering your EMR is how we prove the relationship is worth keeping.
Do you work outside of Texas?
Yes. Safety consulting and the software are delivered nationwide. Insurance placement is offered where we are licensed. Tell us where you operate and we'll confirm what we can do in your state.
