The verdict

TIGHITCO runs at 381% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Areospace workplace, earning a grade F.

TIGHITCO: 12.6 TCR = 381% of Areospace BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

TIGHITCO safety composite

TIGHITCO scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 2%), 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).

TIGHITCO has fewer employees than the Areospace median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 7.2. 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.
