The verdict

EJ runs at 237% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Gray iron foundries workplace, earning a grade F.

EJ: 7.8 TCR = 237% of Gray iron foundries BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

EJ safety composite

EJ scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 60% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 45%), 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).
