The verdict

Airwest Engineering runs at 106% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Mechanical engineering services workplace, earning a grade C.

Airwest Engineering: 0.5 TCR = 106% of Mechanical engineering services BLS 0.5 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Airwest Engineering safety composite

Airwest Engineering scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).

Airwest Engineering (79 employees, TCR 0.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 112 employees and a TCR of 0.9

Airwest Engineering has fewer employees than the Mechanical engineering services median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 0.9. 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.
