The verdict

Solon runs at 34% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Cutting tool and machine tool accessory manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Solon: 1.1 TCR = 34% of Cutting tool and machine tool accessory manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Solon safety composite

Solon scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 81% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 45%), 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).
