The verdict

Engineered Air runs at 125% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Air-conditioning and warm air heating combination units manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Engineered Air: 4.1 TCR = 125% of Air-conditioning and warm air heating combination units manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Engineered Air safety composite

Engineered Air scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 20%), 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).

Engineered Air has more employees than the Air-conditioning and warm air heating co median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.8. 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.
