The verdict

HTI Cybernetics runs at 48% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Welding equipment manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

HTI Cybernetics: 1.6 TCR = 48% of Welding equipment manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

HTI Cybernetics safety composite

HTI Cybernetics scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% 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).
