Technocom Benefits from Outstanding Safety Record

Wilsonville, Ore., October 21, 2008– At the annual October 1 renewal, Technocom Inc.  (http://www.gotechnocom.com) reported a yearly Worker’s Compensation Experience Modification rate (Mod) of 0.73 against an industry average of 1.0. 

Workers' compensation insurance premiums are based a company’s mod rate. A MOD rate of 1.0 represents that an employer's injury/illness rate is equal to their industry's average rate, while a MOD rate of less than 1.0 indicates a rate better than the industry average.

It is the fifth straight year that Technocom demonstrated a truly outstanding safety record.  The company has averaged under a 0.75 Mod rate for the past six years. 
         
As part of the Oregon Contractors Classification Premium Adjustment Program (OCCPAP), Technocom received a substantial credit due to its safety record.

In Washington, Technocom boasts an outstanding 0.67 Experience Factor, a related rating to the Oregon Mod rate.

The successful safety rating is undoubtedly due, in part, to Technocom’s award-winning safety program*  that is the culmination of an ongoing company commitment to safety.  The program includes training programs, hazard assessments, thorough after-incident investigation, ongoing safety audits and corrective action programs. 

* In 2007, Technocom was awarded the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Safety Training and Evaluation Program (STEP) award. In recognition of its ongoing efforts in the development of a quality safety program, Technocom was awarded the Silver Level of achievement.
