The verdict

Able runs at 13% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Welding, on site, contractors workplace, earning a grade A.

Able: 0.3 TCR = 13% of Welding, on site, contractors BLS 2.8 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Able safety composite

Able scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 98% 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).

Able (453 employees, TCR 0.3) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 52 employees and a TCR of 3.5

Able has more employees than the Welding, on site, contractors median and a lower 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.
