The verdict

U.P. Machine & Engineering runs at 84% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Steel manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

U.P. Machine & Engineering: 2.8 TCR = 84% of Steel manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

U.P. Machine & Engineering safety composite

U.P. Machine & Engineering scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 21%), 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).

Benchmarked live against every credibly-rated employer in the same NAICS industry code in the current OSHA extract (a segment must have at least 8 rated peers to benchmark). Not a legal or compliance determination; PlainSafetyScore's own weighting (TCR 40%, DART 35%, fatalities 25%).

Rising injury rate

U.P. Machine & Engineering: 0.0 → 5.6 TCR

Peak year 2024 @ 5.6 TCR · DART/TCR 1× in 2024

U.P. Machine & Engineering's TCR rose 5.6 from 0.0 in 2023 to 5.6 in 2024. In 2024, DART was 1× this establishment's average TCR (severity share of cases).

U.P. Machine & Engineering (31 employees, TCR 2.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 155 employees and a TCR of 2.7

U.P. Machine & Engineering has fewer employees than the Steel manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.7. 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.
