The verdict

Thermach runs at 96% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Welding equipment manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Thermach: 3.2 TCR = 96% of Welding equipment manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Thermach safety composite

Thermach scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 18%), 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).

Thermach (27 employees, TCR 3.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 79 employees and a TCR of 2.8

Thermach has fewer employees than the Welding equipment manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.8. 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.
