The verdict

Avionics runs at 135% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Steel wire drawing workplace, earning a grade D.

Avionics: 4.5 TCR = 135% of Steel wire drawing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Avionics safety composite

Avionics scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 63% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
