Imperial Machine & Tool safety composite

Imperial Machine & Tool scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (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).

Imperial Machine & Tool (36 employees, TCR 3.6) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 48 employees and a TCR of 3.5

Imperial Machine & Tool has fewer employees than the Machine shops median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.5. 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.
