The verdict

ESM Technologies runs at 65% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Eggs, processed, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

ESM Technologies: 2.7 TCR = 65% of Eggs, processed, manufacturing BLS 4.1 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ESM Technologies safety composite

ESM Technologies scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 64% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 8%), 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).
