The verdict

Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company runs at 33% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Explosives manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company: 1.1 TCR = 33% of Explosives manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company safety composite

Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 85% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 52%), 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).
