The verdict

Metal Arts runs at 291% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Structural steel, fabricated, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Metal Arts: 9.6 TCR = 291% of Structural steel, fabricated, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Metal Arts safety composite

Metal Arts scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 16%), 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).
