Lamar: 6.5 TCR = 196% of Barge sections, prefabricated metal, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Lamar safety composite

Lamar scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 20%), 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).
