The verdict

Custom Hoists runs at 96% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Cylinders, fluid power, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Custom Hoists: 3.2 TCR = 96% of Cylinders, fluid power, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Custom Hoists safety composite

Custom Hoists scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 30%), 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).
