E.H. Wachs: 2.1 TCR = 64% of Pipe cutting and threading machines, metalworking, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

E.H. Wachs safety composite

E.H. Wachs scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 41%), 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).
