The verdict

API Technologies runs at 45% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Filters, electronic component-type, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

API Technologies: 1.5 TCR = 45% of Filters, electronic component-type, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

API Technologies safety composite

API Technologies scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 55% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 39%), 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).
