Industrial Riggers: 4.9 TCR = 175% of Machine rigging BLS 2.8 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Industrial Riggers safety composite

Industrial Riggers scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 17%), 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).

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.
