The verdict

ERMCO runs at 236% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Distribution transformers, electric, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

ERMCO: 7.8 TCR = 236% of Distribution transformers, electric, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ERMCO safety composite

ERMCO scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 88% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 10%), 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).

ERMCO has fewer employees than the Distribution transformers, electric, man median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.6. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
