The verdict

KAIVAC runs at 64% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Vacuum cleaners, industrial and commercial-type, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

KAIVAC: 2.1 TCR = 64% of Vacuum cleaners, industrial and commercial-type, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

KAIVAC safety composite

KAIVAC scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 66% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 33%), 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).
