The verdict

72008 runs at 71% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Department Stores workplace, earning a grade B.

72008: 2.4 TCR = 71% of Department Stores BLS 3.4 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

72008 safety composite

72008 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 67% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 33%), 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).
