The verdict

Matcor Metal Fabrication runs at 232% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Construction machinery manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Matcor Metal Fabrication: 7.7 TCR = 232% of Construction machinery manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Matcor Metal Fabrication safety composite

Matcor Metal Fabrication scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 3%), 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).
