Minnesota safety composite

Minnesota scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 7%), 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).

Minnesota (35 employees, TCR 4.1) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 58 employees and a TCR of 3.9

Minnesota has fewer employees than the Powder coating metals and metal products median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.9. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
