The verdict

Foundry runs at 114% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Magnesium die-castings, unfinished, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Foundry: 3.8 TCR = 114% of Magnesium die-castings, unfinished, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Foundry safety composite

Foundry scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 61% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 46%), 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).
