Ceres: 5.2 TCR = 201% of Hazardous waste collection services BLS 2.6 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Ceres safety composite

Ceres scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% 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).
