The verdict

148a Lci runs at 110% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

148a Lci: 3.6 TCR = 110% of Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

148a Lci safety composite

148a Lci scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 59% 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).
