The verdict

Energy Absorption Systems runs at 195% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Ducts, sheet metal, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Energy Absorption Systems: 6.5 TCR = 195% of Ducts, sheet metal, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Energy Absorption Systems safety composite

Energy Absorption Systems scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 55% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 31%), 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).
