The verdict

Carbide runs at 71% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Powder metallurgy products manufactured on a job or order basis workplace, earning a grade B.

Carbide: 2.4 TCR = 71% of Powder metallurgy products manufactured on a job or order basis BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Carbide safety composite

Carbide scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 63% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 43%), 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).
