California Metal-X: 7.4 TCR = 225% of Copper and copper-based shapes (e.g., cake, ingot, slag, wire bar) made from purchased metal or scrap BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)
California Metal-X safety composite
California Metal-X scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 91% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 18%), 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).
