The verdict

American Automated Engineering runs at 192% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Guided missile and space vehicle parts (except engines) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

American Automated Engineering: 6.3 TCR = 192% of Guided missile and space vehicle parts (except engines) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

American Automated Engineering safety composite

American Automated Engineering scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 0%), 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).
