The verdict

Piston Automotive runs at 30% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Batteries, primary, dry or wet, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Piston Automotive: 1.0 TCR = 30% of Batteries, primary, dry or wet, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Piston Automotive safety composite

Piston Automotive scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 86% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
