The verdict

Oilgear runs at 76% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Control valves, fluid power, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Oilgear: 2.5 TCR = 76% of Control valves, fluid power, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Oilgear safety composite

Oilgear scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 38%), 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).

Safer than 42% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 2.1.

Grade B

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Michigan alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #15 safest of 28 Control valves, fluid power, m employers in Michigan.

Oilgear (69 employees, TCR 2.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 88 employees and a TCR of 2.1

Oilgear has fewer employees than the Control valves, fluid power, manufacturi median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.1. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
