The verdict

DFT Inc runs at 118% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Safety (i.e., pop-off) valves, industrial-type, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

DFT Inc: 3.9 TCR = 118% of Safety (i.e., pop-off) valves, industrial-type, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

DFT Inc safety composite

DFT Inc scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 78% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 23%), 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).
