The verdict

Manufacturing runs at 77% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Ammunition, small arms (i.e., 30 mm. or less, 1.18 inch or less), manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Manufacturing: 2.5 TCR = 77% of Ammunition, small arms (i.e., 30 mm. or less, 1.18 inch or less), manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Manufacturing safety composite

Manufacturing scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 84% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (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).
