The verdict

Welding runs at 180% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Job stampings, automotive, metal, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Welding: 9.7 TCR = 180% of Job stampings, automotive, metal, manufacturing BLS 5.4 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Welding safety composite

Welding scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 6%), 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).
