The verdict

Alnico runs at 257% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Foundry cores manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Alnico: 8.5 TCR = 257% of Foundry cores manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Alnico safety composite

Alnico scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 13%), 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).

Alnico (56 employees, TCR 8.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 67 employees and a TCR of 4.5

Alnico has fewer employees than the Foundry cores manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.5. 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.
