The verdict

JR Wheel runs at 25% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Rims, automotive, truck, and bus wheel, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

JR Wheel: 1.4 TCR = 25% of Rims, automotive, truck, and bus wheel, manufacturing BLS 5.4 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

JR Wheel safety composite

JR Wheel scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 89% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
