The verdict

Chain runs at 125% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Chains, power transmission, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Chain: 4.1 TCR = 125% of Chains, power transmission, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Chain safety composite

Chain scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 40%), 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).

Chain has more employees than the Chains, power transmission, manufacturin median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.4. 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.
