Commercial Metal Forming: 14.1 TCR = 428% of Fabricated plate work manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Commercial Metal Forming safety composite

Commercial Metal Forming scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 4%), 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).

Commercial Metal Forming has fewer employees than the Fabricated plate work manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.5. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
