The verdict

Machine Division runs at 359% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Machine shops workplace, earning a grade F.

Machine Division: 11.8 TCR = 359% of Machine shops BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Machine Division safety composite

Machine Division scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 4%), 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).
