LECO Corporation- Headquarters runs at 44% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Laboratory analytical instruments (except optical) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

LECO Corporation- Headquarters: 1.4 TCR = 44% of Laboratory analytical instruments (except optical) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

LECO Corporation- Headquarters safety composite

LECO Corporation- Headquarters scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 30%), 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).
