The verdict

General Cable runs at 56% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Cable, nonferrous, insulated, or armored, made from purchased nonferrous wire workplace, earning a grade B.

General Cable: 1.9 TCR = 56% of Cable, nonferrous, insulated, or armored, made from purchased nonferrous wire BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

General Cable safety composite

General Cable scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 58% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 18%), 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).
