The verdict

Reduction Engineering Scheer runs at 106% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Plastics working machinery manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Reduction Engineering Scheer: 3.5 TCR = 106% of Plastics working machinery manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Reduction Engineering Scheer safety composite

Reduction Engineering Scheer scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 23%), 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).

Safer than 42% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 3.0.

Grade C

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Ohio alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #35 safest of 55 Plastics working machinery man employers in Ohio.

Reduction Engineering Scheer (65 employees, TCR 3.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 70 employees and a TCR of 3.0

Reduction Engineering Scheer has fewer employees than the Plastics working machinery manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.0. 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.
