Marion Body Works, Inc., a leading manufacturer of Fire & Emergency Apparatus, Commercial Truck Bodies, Aluminum Custom Cabs, Custom Engineered Vehicles, and Defense Products, recently celebrated its two-year milestone of working without a lost-time injury by holding an all-employee steak fry at Lions Point Park in Marion, Wisconsin.
From July 2013 to July 2015, Marion Body Works' 240 employees worked 992,621 total hours without having to report a lost-time injury. This surpasses the company’s four previous workplace safety records (501,808 hours from July 2013-2014, 464,964 hours from March 2008-2009, 306,000 hours from September 2001-2002, and 380,000 hours from November 1989-1991); a testament to their ability to maintain safe working conditions while growing in size.
“It is with great pride that our employees have worked hard in meeting this accomplishment” said Curt Ignacio, CEO of Marion Body Works. “Our employees help sustain a strong safety culture and treat safety as the number one priority. We were happy to provide something fun and relaxing for the whole team to celebrate their outstanding accomplishment.”
At the event, company employees and a guest of their choice were treated to freshly grilled steaks and refreshments. Steaks were grilled by company CEO Curt Ignacio, family, and a few Marion employees. The safety committee members in attendance were recognized, a variety of door prizes distributed, and a commemorative wind shirt was given to every employee.
