The verdict

GKN Aerospace runs at 99% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Airframe assemblies (except for guided missiles) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

GKN Aerospace: 3.3 TCR = 99% of Airframe assemblies (except for guided missiles) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

GKN Aerospace safety composite

GKN Aerospace scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 9%), 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).
