Baum Machine Inc: 3.3 TCR = 101% of Machine shops BLS 3.3 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Baum Machine Inc safety composite

Baum Machine Inc scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 16%), 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).
