The verdict

MTS Systems Corporation runs at 25% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Kinematic test and measuring equipment manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

MTS Systems Corporation: 0.8 TCR = 25% of Kinematic test and measuring equipment manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

MTS Systems Corporation safety composite

MTS Systems Corporation scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 67% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 32%), 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).
