The verdict

Contech Gadst runs at 127% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Contech Gadst: 4.2 TCR = 127% of Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Contech Gadst safety composite

Contech Gadst scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 54% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 48%), 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).
