The verdict

Welding Accessories and Cutting runs at 86% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Welding equipment manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Welding Accessories and Cutting: 2.8 TCR = 86% of Welding equipment manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Welding Accessories and Cutting safety composite

Welding Accessories and Cutting scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 48%), 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).
