The verdict

Knight Materials Technologies runs at 51% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Bricks, clay refractory, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Knight Materials Technologies: 1.7 TCR = 51% of Bricks, clay refractory, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Knight Materials Technologies safety composite

Knight Materials Technologies scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 82% 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).
