The verdict

Applied Technology runs at 65% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Variable control instruments, industrial process-type, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Applied Technology: 2.1 TCR = 65% of Variable control instruments, industrial process-type, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Applied Technology safety composite

Applied Technology scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 7%), 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).
