The verdict

M.E.L.P. runs at 170% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Erecting structural steel workplace, earning a grade D.

M.E.L.P.: 4.8 TCR = 170% of Erecting structural steel BLS 2.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

M.E.L.P. safety composite

M.E.L.P. scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 40%), 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).

M.E.L.P. (48 employees, TCR 4.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 58 employees and a TCR of 3.9

M.E.L.P. has fewer employees than the Erecting structural steel median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.9. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
