The verdict

Orizon runs at 76% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Aircraft manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Orizon: 2.5 TCR = 76% of Aircraft manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Orizon safety composite

Orizon scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 10%), 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).
