Progressive Foundry safety composite

Progressive Foundry scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 8%), 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).

Progressive Foundry (92 employees, TCR 20.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 112 employees and a TCR of 7.2

Progressive Foundry has fewer employees than the Iron foundries median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 7.2. 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.
