The verdict

Sono-Tek Corporation runs at 94% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Chemical processing machinery and equipment manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Sono-Tek Corporation: 3.1 TCR = 94% of Chemical processing machinery and equipment manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Sono-Tek Corporation safety composite

Sono-Tek Corporation scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (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).
