The verdict

Kaman runs at 73% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Aircraft assemblies, subassemblies, and parts (except engines) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Kaman: 2.4 TCR = 73% of Aircraft assemblies, subassemblies, and parts (except engines) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Kaman safety composite

Kaman scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 26%), 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).
