The verdict

Elkins Plant runs at 115% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Orthopedic devices manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Elkins Plant: 3.8 TCR = 115% of Orthopedic devices manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Elkins Plant safety composite

Elkins Plant scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 26%), 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).

Grade C

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Massachusetts alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #34 safest of 38 Orthopedic devices manufacturi employers in Massachusetts.

Elkins Plant (100 employees, TCR 3.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 123 employees and a TCR of 2.1

Elkins Plant has fewer employees than the Orthopedic devices manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.1. 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.
