The verdict

Light's Welding Inc runs at 207% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Belt conveyor systems manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Light's Welding Inc: 6.8 TCR = 207% of Belt conveyor systems manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Light's Welding Inc safety composite

Light's Welding Inc scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 80% 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).
