The verdict

WELDCOA runs at 155% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Pallets, metal, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

WELDCOA: 5.1 TCR = 155% of Pallets, metal, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

WELDCOA safety composite

WELDCOA scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 55% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 42%), 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).
