The verdict

Advance Composite Structures runs at 146% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Aircraft assemblies, subassemblies, and parts (except engines) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Advance Composite Structures: 4.8 TCR = 146% of Aircraft assemblies, subassemblies, and parts (except engines) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Advance Composite Structures safety composite

Advance Composite Structures scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 14%), 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).

Advance Composite Structures has fewer employees than the Aircraft assemblies, subassemblies, and median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.9. 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.
