The verdict

Lima Engine runs at 116% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Engine manufacture workplace, earning a grade C.

Lima Engine: 3.8 TCR = 116% of Engine manufacture BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Lima Engine safety composite

Lima Engine scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 32% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 2%), 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).
