The verdict

Valiant TMS runs at 37% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Welding equipment manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Valiant TMS: 1.2 TCR = 37% of Welding equipment manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Valiant TMS safety composite

Valiant TMS scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 83% 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).

Valiant TMS (214 employees, TCR 1.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 79 employees and a TCR of 2.8

Valiant TMS has more employees than the 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.
