American Sheet Metal: 1.3 TCR = 38% of Sheet metal work (except stampings) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

American Sheet Metal safety composite

American Sheet Metal scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 94% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 1%), 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).
