The verdict

Kearfott Corporation runs at 51% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Acceleration indicators and systems components, aerospace type, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Kearfott Corporation: 1.7 TCR = 51% of Acceleration indicators and systems components, aerospace type, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Kearfott Corporation safety composite

Kearfott Corporation scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 21%), 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).
