The verdict

Universal Industrial Gases runs at 19% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Industrial gases manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Universal Industrial Gases: 0.6 TCR = 19% of Industrial gases manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Universal Industrial Gases safety composite

Universal Industrial Gases scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 85% 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).
