1974: 3.6 TCR = 106% of All Other General Merchandise Stores BLS 3.4 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

1974 safety composite

1974 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 58% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 35%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers.
