The verdict

Decision Sciences runs at 41% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Kinematic test and measuring equipment manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Decision Sciences: 1.4 TCR = 41% of Kinematic test and measuring equipment manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Decision Sciences safety composite

Decision Sciences scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 24%), 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).

Benchmarked live against every credibly-rated employer in the same NAICS industry code in the current OSHA extract (a segment must have at least 8 rated peers to benchmark). Not a legal or compliance determination; PlainSafetyScore's own weighting (TCR 40%, DART 35%, fatalities 25%).

Decision Sciences held a steady TCR band

Decision Sciences's TCR held near 0.0 from 1.4 in 2017 to 1.4 in 2018. Peak filing year was 2017 at 1.4 TCR. In 2018, DART was 0.99× this establishment's average TCR (severity share of cases).

Decision Sciences (75 employees, TCR 1.4) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 81 employees and a TCR of 1.2

Decision Sciences has fewer employees than the Kinematic test and measuring equipment m median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.2. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
