The verdict

Ridge Tool runs at 21% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Sheet metal forming machines manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Ridge Tool: 0.7 TCR = 21% of Sheet metal forming machines manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Ridge Tool safety composite

Ridge Tool scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 95% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (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).
