The verdict

World Block runs at 644% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Machine shops workplace, earning a grade F.

World Block: 21.3 TCR = 644% of Machine shops BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

World Block safety composite

World Block scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 0%), 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 F

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Minnesota alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #91 safest of 92 Machine shops employers in Minnesota.

World Block (22 employees, TCR 21.3) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 48 employees and a TCR of 3.5

World Block has fewer employees than the Machine shops median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.5. 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.
