The verdict

Core-Tech runs at 31% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Smelting nonferrous metals (except aluminum, copper), secondary workplace, earning a grade A.

Core-Tech: 1.0 TCR = 31% of Smelting nonferrous metals (except aluminum, copper), secondary BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Core-Tech safety composite

Core-Tech scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 89% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
