The verdict

Metal Craft Engineering runs at 83% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Instruments, mechanical microsurgical, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Metal Craft Engineering: 2.7 TCR = 83% of Instruments, mechanical microsurgical, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Metal Craft Engineering safety composite

Metal Craft Engineering scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 81% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 24%), 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).
