The verdict

Collins Machine Works runs at 56% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Machine shops workplace, earning a grade B.

Collins Machine Works: 1.8 TCR = 56% of Machine shops BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Collins Machine Works safety composite

Collins Machine Works scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 76% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 31%), 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).
