The verdict

AST runs at 103% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Handles (e.g., parasol, umbrella), metal, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

AST: 3.4 TCR = 103% of Handles (e.g., parasol, umbrella), metal, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

AST safety composite

AST scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 83% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).

AST has fewer employees than the Handles (e.g., parasol, umbrella), metal median and a lower 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.
