The verdict

Sign Designs runs at 22% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Electrical signs manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Sign Designs: 0.7 TCR = 22% of Electrical signs manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Sign Designs safety composite

Sign Designs scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 94% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 16%), 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).
