The verdict

Helical runs at 80% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Precision turned product manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Helical: 2.6 TCR = 80% of Precision turned product manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Helical safety composite

Helical scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 67% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 49%), 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).

Helical has more employees than the Precision turned product manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.6. 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.
