The verdict

CESO runs at 555% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Alarm apparatus, electric, merchant wholesalers workplace, earning a grade F.

CESO: 12.2 TCR = 555% of Alarm apparatus, electric, merchant wholesalers BLS 2.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

CESO safety composite

CESO scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 1%), 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).
