Kline Electric: 7.7 TCR = 276% of Electrical contractors BLS 2.8 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Kline Electric safety composite

Kline Electric scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 9%), 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).
