The verdict

VNE runs at 212% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Tubing, metal, merchant wholesalers workplace, earning a grade F.

VNE: 4.7 TCR = 212% of Tubing, metal, merchant wholesalers BLS 2.2 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

VNE safety composite

VNE scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 81% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 39%), 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).
