The verdict

Tactical Kinetics runs at 57% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Gun barrels manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Tactical Kinetics: 1.9 TCR = 57% of Gun barrels manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Tactical Kinetics safety composite

Tactical Kinetics scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 63% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 23%), 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).
