The verdict

ZF Chassis Component-Newton runs at 46% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

ZF Chassis Component-Newton: 2.5 TCR = 46% of Manufacturing BLS 5.4 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ZF Chassis Component-Newton safety composite

ZF Chassis Component-Newton scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 68% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 51%), 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).

ZF Chassis Component-Newton has more employees than the Manufacturing median and a lower 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.
