The verdict

Plate work (e.g., bending, cutting, punching, shaping, welding), fabricated metal, manufacturing runs at 46% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Plate Steel Fabrication workplace, earning a grade A.

Plate work (e.g., bending, cutting, punching, shaping, welding), fabricated metal, manufacturing: 1.5 TCR = 46% of Plate Steel Fabrication BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Plate work (e.g., bending, cutting, punching, shaping, welding), fabricated metal, manufacturing safety composite

Plate work (e.g., bending, cutting, punching, shaping, welding), fabricated metal, manufacturing scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 85% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
