The verdict

Orizon Aerostructures runs at 121% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Anodizing metals and metal products for the trade workplace, earning a grade D.

Orizon Aerostructures: 4.0 TCR = 121% of Anodizing metals and metal products for the trade BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Orizon Aerostructures safety composite

Orizon Aerostructures scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 15%), 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).
