The verdict

Superior Gear runs at 32% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Reduction gears and gear units (except aircraft power transmission equipment, automotive) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Superior Gear: 1.0 TCR = 32% of Reduction gears and gear units (except aircraft power transmission equipment, automotive) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Superior Gear safety composite

Superior Gear scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 87% 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).
