The verdict

6209 runs at 91% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Metal heat treating workplace, earning a grade C.

6209: 3.0 TCR = 91% of Metal heat treating BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

6209 safety composite

6209 scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).

6209 has fewer employees than the Metal heat treating median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.2. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
