The verdict

Astro Aluminum runs at 111% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Annealing metals and metal products for the trade workplace, earning a grade C.

Astro Aluminum: 3.6 TCR = 111% of Annealing metals and metal products for the trade BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Astro Aluminum safety composite

Astro Aluminum scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 58% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 49%), 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).
