The verdict

Custom Engineering Company runs at 141% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Fabricated structural metal manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Custom Engineering Company: 4.7 TCR = 141% of Fabricated structural metal manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Custom Engineering Company safety composite

Custom Engineering Company scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 82% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 49%), 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).
