Bender Foundry Service: 8.7 TCR = 264% of Foundry pattern making BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Bender Foundry Service safety composite

Bender Foundry Service scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 19%), 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).

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Iowa alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #12 safest of 18 Foundry pattern making employers in Iowa.

Bender Foundry Service (44 employees, TCR 8.7) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 67 employees and a TCR of 4.5

Bender Foundry Service has fewer employees than the Foundry pattern making median and a higher 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.
