The verdict

ZF-Fenton runs at 12% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

ZF-Fenton: 0.7 TCR = 12% of Manufacturing BLS 5.4 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ZF-Fenton safety composite

ZF-Fenton scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 93% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (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).
