The verdict

Great Lakes Engineering runs at 24% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Shims, metal, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Great Lakes Engineering: 0.8 TCR = 24% of Shims, metal, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Great Lakes Engineering safety composite

Great Lakes Engineering scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 94% 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).

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Minnesota alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #2 safest of 39 Shims, metal, manufacturing employers in Minnesota.

Great Lakes Engineering (22 employees, TCR 0.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 67 employees and a TCR of 4.5

Great Lakes Engineering has fewer employees than the Shims, metal, manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.5. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
