ZD Metal Products: 10.6 TCR = 321% of Nonferrous die-casting foundries BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ZD Metal Products safety composite

ZD Metal Products scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 87% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 13%), 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).
