The verdict

Central Specialties runs at 261% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Road construction workplace, earning a grade F.

Central Specialties: 7.3 TCR = 261% of Road construction BLS 2.8 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Central Specialties safety composite

Central Specialties scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 17%), 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).
