The verdict

Cartech runs at 82% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Job stampings, automotive, metal, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Cartech: 4.5 TCR = 82% of Job stampings, automotive, metal, manufacturing BLS 5.4 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Cartech safety composite

Cartech scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 39%), 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).
