The verdict

Chattanooga Mill runs at 96% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical industry workplace, earning a grade C.

Chattanooga Mill: 3.2 TCR = 96% of industry BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Chattanooga Mill safety composite

Chattanooga Mill scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 34%), 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).

Chattanooga Mill (172 employees, TCR 3.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 146 employees and a TCR of 2.2
