The verdict

Chiron runs at 88% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Machine tools, metal forming, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Chiron: 2.9 TCR = 88% of Machine tools, metal forming, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Chiron safety composite

Chiron scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 56% 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).
