The verdict

METCOM Inc. runs at 156% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Industrial pattern manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

METCOM Inc.: 5.2 TCR = 156% of Industrial pattern manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

METCOM Inc. safety composite

METCOM Inc. scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 83% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 41%), 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).

METCOM Inc. (56 employees, TCR 5.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 67 employees and a TCR of 4.5

METCOM Inc. has fewer employees than the Industrial pattern manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.5. 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.
