B&D Fabrication: 25.0 TCR = 758% of Fabricated structural metal manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

B&D Fabrication safety composite

B&D Fabrication scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (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).
