The verdict

Special Tool Solutions runs at 40% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Machine shops workplace, earning a grade A.

Special Tool Solutions: 1.3 TCR = 40% of Machine shops BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Special Tool Solutions safety composite

Special Tool Solutions scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 85% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).

Special Tool Solutions has more employees than the Machine shops median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.5. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
