The verdict

Wear Technology runs at 92% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Precision turned product manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Wear Technology: 3.0 TCR = 92% of Precision turned product manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Wear Technology safety composite

Wear Technology scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 59% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 39%), 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).

Wear Technology (120 employees, TCR 3.0) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 61 employees and a TCR of 3.6

Wear Technology has more employees than the Precision turned product manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.6. 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.
