The verdict

Praxair Surface Technologies runs at 19% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Coating metals and metal products for the trade workplace, earning a grade A.

Praxair Surface Technologies: 0.6 TCR = 19% of Coating metals and metal products for the trade BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Praxair Surface Technologies safety composite

Praxair Surface Technologies scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 95% 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).
