The verdict

Industrial Engineering Company runs at 172% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Machine shops workplace, earning a grade D.

Industrial Engineering Company: 5.7 TCR = 172% of Machine shops BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Industrial Engineering Company safety composite

Industrial Engineering Company scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 27%), 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).

Industrial Engineering Company 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.
