The verdict

ESSEX runs at 114% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Control valves, industrial-type, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

ESSEX: 3.9 TCR = 114% of Control valves, industrial-type, manufacturing BLS 3.4 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ESSEX safety composite

ESSEX scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 68% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
