The verdict

Alco runs at 207% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Janitorial equipment and supplies merchant wholesalers workplace, earning a grade F.

Alco: 4.5 TCR = 207% of Janitorial equipment and supplies merchant wholesalers BLS 2.2 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Alco safety composite

Alco scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 58% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 43%), 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).
