The verdict

Shape Technologies runs at 44% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Powder metallurgy products manufactured on a job or order basis workplace, earning a grade A.

Shape Technologies: 1.4 TCR = 44% of Powder metallurgy products manufactured on a job or order basis BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Shape Technologies safety composite

Shape Technologies scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 81% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
