The verdict

Best Equipment and Welding runs at 156% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Angle irons, metal, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Best Equipment and Welding: 5.1 TCR = 156% of Angle irons, metal, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Best Equipment and Welding safety composite

Best Equipment and Welding scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 83% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 42%), 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).
