Southwire Florence: 1.1 TCR = 33% of Copper Drawing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Southwire Florence safety composite

Southwire Florence scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 87% 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).
