The verdict

Aiken runs at 94% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Valve Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Aiken: 3.1 TCR = 94% of Valve Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Aiken safety composite

Aiken scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 18%), 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).
