The verdict

Aqua-Chem runs at 92% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Boilers, power, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Aqua-Chem: 3.0 TCR = 92% of Boilers, power, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Aqua-Chem safety composite

Aqua-Chem scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 48%), 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).
