The verdict

NSK Corporation runs at 50% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Bearings, ball and roller, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

NSK Corporation: 1.6 TCR = 50% of Bearings, ball and roller, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

NSK Corporation safety composite

NSK Corporation scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 72% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 45%), 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).
