The verdict

Cardinal Machine Company runs at 68% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Assembly machines manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Cardinal Machine Company: 2.2 TCR = 68% of Assembly machines manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Cardinal Machine Company safety composite

Cardinal Machine Company scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 60% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 10%), 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).

Cardinal Machine Company has fewer employees than the Assembly machines manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.7. 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.
