The verdict

Action Mechanical runs at 183% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Plumbing and heating contractors workplace, earning a grade D.

Action Mechanical: 5.1 TCR = 183% of Plumbing and heating contractors BLS 2.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Action Mechanical safety composite

Action Mechanical scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 33%), 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).
