The verdict

Precision Instruments runs at 30% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Wrenches, handtools, nonpowered, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Precision Instruments: 1.0 TCR = 30% of Wrenches, handtools, nonpowered, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Precision Instruments safety composite

Precision Instruments scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 95% 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).
