According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 466,000 injuries occur each year in Heavy Manufacturing facilities in the US. That equates to 4 of 100 workers being injured at some point each year, every year.

We are pleased to announce, that over the last 12 years at Jorgensen Forge, there have been ZERO injuries involving the Forge and Heat Treat Staff. That is beyond outstanding!
