The verdict

South runs at 72% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Sheet metal work (except stampings) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

South: 2.4 TCR = 72% of Sheet metal work (except stampings) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

South safety composite

South scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 78% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (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).
