Quality Engineering Services Inc safety composite

Quality Engineering Services Inc scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 31%), 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).

Quality Engineering Services Inc has fewer employees than the Machine shops median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.5.
