KavoKerr runs at 47% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Dental equipment and instruments manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

KavoKerr: 1.5 TCR = 47% of Dental equipment and instruments manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

KavoKerr safety composite

KavoKerr scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 67% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
