The verdict

352 runs at 100% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical All Other General Merchandise Stores workplace, earning a grade C.

352: 3.4 TCR = 100% of All Other General Merchandise Stores BLS 3.4 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

352 safety composite

352 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 60% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 32%), 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).
