The verdict

Airborne Systems Na-Ca runs at 26% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Gliders (i.e., aircraft) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Airborne Systems Na-Ca: 0.9 TCR = 26% of Gliders (i.e., aircraft) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Airborne Systems Na-Ca safety composite

Airborne Systems Na-Ca scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 82% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).

Airborne Systems Na-Ca has more employees than the Gliders (i.e., aircraft) manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.7. 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.
