Brown Summit Plant: 3.6 TCR = 110% of Toothpastes, gels, and tooth powders manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Brown Summit Plant safety composite

Brown Summit Plant scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 60% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 28%), 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).
