Temple Products: 3.5 TCR = 64% of Hitches, trailer, automotive, truck, and bus, manufacturing BLS 5.4 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Temple Products safety composite

Temple Products scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 35%), 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).

Grade B

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Indiana alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #38 safest of 66 Hitches, trailer, automotive, employers in Indiana.

Temple Products (147 employees, TCR 3.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 154 employees and a TCR of 3.2

Temple Products has fewer employees than the Hitches, trailer, automotive, truck, and median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.2. 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.
