The verdict

Bowhead Science and Technology runs at 172% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Engineering services workplace, earning a grade D.

Bowhead Science and Technology: 0.9 TCR = 172% of Engineering services BLS 0.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Bowhead Science and Technology safety composite

Bowhead Science and Technology scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 22%), 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).

Bowhead Science and Technology (301 employees, TCR 0.9) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 112 employees and a TCR of 0.9

Bowhead Science and Technology has more employees than the Engineering services median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 0.9. 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.
