The verdict

Cascade runs at 130% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Industrial pattern manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Cascade: 4.3 TCR = 130% of Industrial pattern manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Cascade safety composite

Cascade scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 33%), 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).

Cascade (33 employees, TCR 4.3) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 67 employees and a TCR of 4.5

Cascade has fewer employees than the Industrial pattern manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.5. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
