The verdict

Atchison runs at 191% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Railcar Repair workplace, earning a grade D.

Atchison: 8.6 TCR = 191% of Railcar Repair BLS 4.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Atchison safety composite

Atchison scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 5%), 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).
