The verdict

Alpha Systems runs at 150% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Plastic Manucaturin workplace, earning a grade D.

Alpha Systems: 4.9 TCR = 150% of Plastic Manucaturin BLS 3.3 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Alpha Systems safety composite

Alpha Systems scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 27% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 0%), 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).

Alpha Systems has more employees than the Plastic Manucaturin median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.7.
