The verdict

Forming Department runs at 110% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Fabricated structural metal manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Forming Department: 3.6 TCR = 110% of Fabricated structural metal manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Forming Department safety composite

Forming Department scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 82% 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).
