The verdict

ASC runs at 63% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Surgical dressings manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

ASC: 2.1 TCR = 63% of Surgical dressings manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ASC safety composite

ASC scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 17%), 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).
