Smartlam: 6.3 TCR = 190% of Arches, glue laminated or pre-engineered wood, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Smartlam safety composite

Smartlam scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 87% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 33%), 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).

Smartlam has fewer employees than the Arches, glue laminated or pre-engineered median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.6. 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.
