The verdict

Central runs at 179% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical retail furniture distribution workplace, earning a grade D.

Central: 6.1 TCR = 179% of retail furniture distribution BLS 3.4 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Central safety composite

Central scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 18%), 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).
