The verdict

K-T Bolt runs at 39% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical bolt manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

K-T Bolt: 1.3 TCR = 39% of bolt manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

K-T Bolt safety composite

K-T Bolt scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 87% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 47%), 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).
