The verdict

318 Gastonia runs at 44% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Department Store workplace, earning a grade A.

318 Gastonia: 1.5 TCR = 44% of Department Store BLS 3.4 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

318 Gastonia safety composite

318 Gastonia scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 88% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 26%), 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).

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to North Carolina alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #12 safest of 68 Department Store employers in North Carolina.

318 Gastonia (71 employees, TCR 1.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 98 employees and a TCR of 3.1

318 Gastonia has fewer employees than the Department Store median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.1. 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.
