The verdict

Nordson EFD-CAT runs at 52% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Nordson EFD-CAT: 1.7 TCR = 52% of Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Nordson EFD-CAT safety composite

Nordson EFD-CAT scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 80% 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).
