The verdict

Challenge Kentucky runs at 40% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Motor vehicle metal parts stamping workplace, earning a grade A.

Challenge Kentucky: 2.2 TCR = 40% of Motor vehicle metal parts stamping BLS 5.4 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Challenge Kentucky safety composite

Challenge Kentucky scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 86% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 38%), 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).
