The verdict

Apex NC Panel runs at 152% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Engineered Wood Member Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Apex NC Panel: 5.0 TCR = 152% of Engineered Wood Member Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Apex NC Panel safety composite

Apex NC Panel scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 29%), 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).
