The verdict
Quality Machine & Welding runs at 117% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Fabricated structural metal manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.
Quality Machine & Welding: 3.9 TCR = 117% of Fabricated structural metal manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)
Quality Machine & Welding safety composite
Quality Machine & Welding scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 57% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 15%), 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).
