The verdict

Snow Metal runs at 76% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Plating metals and metal products for the trade workplace, earning a grade B.

Snow Metal: 2.5 TCR = 76% of Plating metals and metal products for the trade BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Snow Metal safety composite

Snow Metal scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
