The verdict

MBAF runs at 107% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Brass foundries (except die-casting) workplace, earning a grade C.

MBAF: 3.5 TCR = 107% of Brass foundries (except die-casting) BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

MBAF safety composite

MBAF scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 60% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 40%), 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).
