The verdict

Industrial Metal Fabrication runs at 125% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Ducts, sheet metal, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Industrial Metal Fabrication: 4.1 TCR = 125% of Ducts, sheet metal, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Industrial Metal Fabrication safety composite

Industrial Metal Fabrication scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 55% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 48%), 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).

Industrial Metal Fabrication has fewer employees than the Ducts, sheet metal, manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.5. 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.
