The verdict

HEM Fombell runs at 47% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Titanium refining, primary workplace, earning a grade A.

HEM Fombell: 1.5 TCR = 47% of Titanium refining, primary BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

HEM Fombell safety composite

HEM Fombell scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 81% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 24%), 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).
