The verdict

SMC-E Knox runs at 64% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Construction machinery and equipment repair and maintenance services workplace, earning a grade B.

SMC-E Knox: 1.3 TCR = 64% of Construction machinery and equipment repair and maintenance services BLS 2.1 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

SMC-E Knox safety composite

SMC-E Knox scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 78% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 48%), 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).
