Yates Industries: 6.8 TCR = 205% of Pneumatic cylinders, fluid power, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Yates Industries safety composite

Yates Industries scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 14%), 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).
