The verdict

JD Metalworks runs at 199% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Machine shops workplace, earning a grade D.

JD Metalworks: 6.6 TCR = 199% of Machine shops BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

JD Metalworks safety composite

JD Metalworks scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 20%), 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).
