The verdict

Knox Machinery runs at 29% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Machine shops workplace, earning a grade A.

Knox Machinery: 1.0 TCR = 29% of Machine shops BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Knox Machinery safety composite

Knox Machinery scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 91% 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).
