Wave Communications: 14.6 TCR = 521% of Cellular phone tower construction BLS 2.8 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Wave Communications safety composite

Wave Communications scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 78% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 1%), 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).
