The verdict

Montana Instruments runs at 43% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Physical properties testing and inspection equipment manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Montana Instruments: 1.4 TCR = 43% of Physical properties testing and inspection equipment manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Montana Instruments safety composite

Montana Instruments scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 72% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 39%), 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).
