The verdict

Foundry runs at 158% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Cast iron pipe and pipe fittings manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Foundry: 5.2 TCR = 158% of Cast iron pipe and pipe fittings manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Foundry safety composite

Foundry scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 65% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 41%), 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).
