Selvage Plumbing safety composite

Selvage Plumbing scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 1%), 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).

Narrower to Iowa alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #73 safest of 94 Plumbing contractors employers in Iowa.
