The verdict

Precision Machine Works runs at 106% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Machine shops workplace, earning a grade C.

Precision Machine Works: 3.5 TCR = 106% of Machine shops BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Precision Machine Works safety composite

Precision Machine Works scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 47%), 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).

Precision Machine Works has more employees than the Machine shops median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.5. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
