The verdict
Advanced Materials Development runs at 161% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Steel wire drawing workplace, earning a grade D.
Advanced Materials Development: 5.3 TCR = 161% of Steel wire drawing BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)
Advanced Materials Development safety composite
Advanced Materials Development scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 63% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 44%), 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).

Where Advanced Materials Development falls in its industry
163 Steel wire drawing establishmentsSafer than 44% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 4.8.
Narrower to Indiana alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #13 safest of 19 Steel wire drawing employers in Indiana.
Advanced Materials Development has fewer employees than the Steel wire drawing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.8. 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.
