At Marlin Steel, safety is not a program; it’s a core part of how we operate every day.
One of the most meaningful ways to measure workplace safety performance in manufacturing is through the Experience Modification Rate (MOD). This rating compares a company’s safety record to others in similar industries, based on factors like workplace incidents, claims, and overall risk exposure.
A MOD rating of 1.0 represents the industry average. Anything below that indicates stronger-than-average safety performance.
Marlin Steel has achieved something exceptional.
For four consecutive years, Marlin has maintained a MOD rating of approximately 0.68, one of the lowest possible ratings in the industry.
What Does This Mean?
This isn’t just a number; it reflects real operational discipline:
- Fewer workplace incidents
- Strong safety protocols and enforcement
- Continuous training and employee engagement
- A culture where team members look out for one another
As shown in the experience modification chart, Marlin’s safety performance has steadily improved over time, reaching and sustaining this elite level in recent years.
