BRE: 6.8 TCR = 205% of Trash containers, plastics, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

BRE safety composite

BRE scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 16%), 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).
