NMF’s Safety Record Solid and Constantly Improving
Since 2000, NMF’s DART (day away, restricted, or transferred) Rate, which OSHA itself considers a key measure, has trended steadily downward.
NMF’s workers’ compensation modification factor has gone below 1.00 to 0.94, meaning our accidents are less severe than the typical company in our business.
In 2006, the number of recordable accidents was down over 45% from the previous year, as NMF focused on internal safety statistics that lead to practical measures to get rid of many minor accidents.

See our Fabrication page for pictures and specifications.
