The verdict

Carbon Conversions runs at 146% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Fibers, carbon and graphite, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Carbon Conversions: 4.8 TCR = 146% of Fibers, carbon and graphite, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Carbon Conversions safety composite

Carbon Conversions scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 12%), 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).
