The verdict

EDM Construction runs at 943% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Iron work, structural, contractors workplace, earning a grade F.

EDM Construction: 26.4 TCR = 943% of Iron work, structural, contractors BLS 2.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

EDM Construction safety composite

EDM Construction scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 0%), 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).
