The verdict

TIG Division runs at 63% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Arc welding equipment manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

TIG Division: 2.1 TCR = 63% of Arc welding equipment manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

TIG Division safety composite

TIG Division scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).

TIG Division has fewer employees than the Arc welding equipment manufacturing median and a lower 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.
