The verdict

QUAL-FAB runs at 116% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Sheet metal work (except stampings) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

QUAL-FAB: 3.8 TCR = 116% of Sheet metal work (except stampings) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

QUAL-FAB safety composite

QUAL-FAB scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 58% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 20%), 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).

QUAL-FAB has fewer employees than the Sheet metal work (except stampings) manu median and a lower 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.
