The verdict

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products runs at 36% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Arc welding equipment manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products: 1.2 TCR = 36% of Arc welding equipment manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products safety composite

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 84% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
