The verdict

HF rubber machinery runs at 178% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Rubber working machinery manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

HF rubber machinery: 5.9 TCR = 178% of Rubber working machinery manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

HF rubber machinery safety composite

HF rubber machinery scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 21%), 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).

HF rubber machinery (122 employees, TCR 5.9) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 70 employees and a TCR of 3.0

HF rubber machinery has more employees than the Rubber working machinery manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.0. 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.
