The verdict

Ability Engineering Technology runs at 154% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Tanks, heavy gauge metal, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Ability Engineering Technology: 5.1 TCR = 154% of Tanks, heavy gauge metal, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Ability Engineering Technology safety composite

Ability Engineering Technology scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 25%), 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).
