Way Engineering runs at 25% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Central heating equipment and piping installation workplace, earning a grade A.

Way Engineering: 0.7 TCR = 25% of Central heating equipment and piping installation BLS 2.8 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Way Engineering safety composite

Way Engineering scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 93% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (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).
