The verdict

WST runs at 45% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

WST: 1.5 TCR = 45% of Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

WST safety composite

WST scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 78% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).

WST (64 employees, TCR 1.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 81 employees and a TCR of 2.5

WST has fewer employees than the Manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.5. 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.
