Kleeberg Sheet Metal: 4.5 TCR = 135% of Ducts, sheet metal, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Kleeberg Sheet Metal safety composite

Kleeberg Sheet Metal scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (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).
