The verdict

SMC runs at 203% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Marine hardware, metal, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

SMC: 6.7 TCR = 203% of Marine hardware, metal, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

SMC safety composite

SMC scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 5%), 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).
