The verdict

The Richards Corporation runs at 85% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Aircraft assemblies, subassemblies, and parts (except engines) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

The Richards Corporation: 2.8 TCR = 85% of Aircraft assemblies, subassemblies, and parts (except engines) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

The Richards Corporation safety composite

The Richards Corporation scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 32%), 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).

Where The Richards Corporation falls in its industry

650 Aircraft assemblies, subassemb establishments

Safer than 32% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 1.9.

Grade C

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Virginia alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #12 safest of 13 Aircraft assemblies, subassemb employers in Virginia.

The Richards Corporation (127 employees, TCR 2.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 130 employees and a TCR of 1.9

The Richards Corporation has fewer employees than the Aircraft assemblies, subassemblies, and median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.9. 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.
