The verdict

NMKY runs at 52% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Pistons and piston rings manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

NMKY: 2.8 TCR = 52% of Pistons and piston rings manufacturing BLS 5.4 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

NMKY safety composite

NMKY scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 56% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
