Behr Yale: 1.7 TCR = 53% of Architectural coatings (i.e., paint) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Behr Yale safety composite

Behr Yale scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
