The verdict

Wire Design runs at 62% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Automotive electrical switches manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Wire Design: 2.1 TCR = 62% of Automotive electrical switches manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Wire Design safety composite

Wire Design scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 81% 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).

Wire Design (64 employees, TCR 2.1) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 107 employees and a TCR of 2.0

Wire Design has fewer employees than the Automotive electrical switches manufactu median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.0. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
