The verdict

W.W. Engineering runs at 101% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Water tanks, heavy gauge metal, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

W.W. Engineering: 3.3 TCR = 101% of Water tanks, heavy gauge metal, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

W.W. Engineering safety composite

W.W. Engineering scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 33%), 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).
