The verdict

Central Hydraulics runs at 40% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Machine shops workplace, earning a grade A.

Central Hydraulics: 1.3 TCR = 40% of Machine shops BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Central Hydraulics safety composite

Central Hydraulics scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 85% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 34%), 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).
