The verdict

174 runs at 369% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Retail workplace, earning a grade F.

174: 12.5 TCR = 369% of Retail BLS 3.4 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

174 safety composite

174 scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 7%), 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).
