The verdict

Custom Fab runs at 58% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Fabricated structural metal manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Custom Fab: 1.9 TCR = 58% of Fabricated structural metal manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Custom Fab safety composite

Custom Fab scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 81% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 27%), 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).
