The verdict
Northern runs at 46% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Construction Machinery Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.
Northern: 1.5 TCR = 46% of Construction Machinery Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)
Northern safety composite
Northern scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 86% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
