The verdict

Air Bear Aviation runs at 92% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Aircraft maintenance and repair services (except factory conversion, factory overhaul, factory rebuilding) workplace, earning a grade C.

Air Bear Aviation: 4.1 TCR = 92% of Aircraft maintenance and repair services (except factory conversion, factory overhaul, factory rebuilding) BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Air Bear Aviation safety composite

Air Bear Aviation scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 6%), 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).

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Massachusetts alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #4 safest of 7 Aircraft maintenance and repai employers in Massachusetts.

Air Bear Aviation (23 employees, TCR 4.1) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 67 employees and a TCR of 3.2
