The verdict

729 Normal runs at 69% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Grocery Store workplace, earning a grade B.

729 Normal: 2.3 TCR = 69% of Grocery Store BLS 3.4 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

729 Normal safety composite

729 Normal scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 86% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 30%), 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).
