The verdict

Chattanooga Recycle runs at 83% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical industry workplace, earning a grade C.

Chattanooga Recycle: 1.8 TCR = 83% of industry BLS 2.2 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Chattanooga Recycle safety composite

Chattanooga Recycle scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 77% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 39%), 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).

Grade C

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Tennessee alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #11 safest of 35 industry employers in Tennessee.

Chattanooga Recycle (29 employees, TCR 1.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 39 employees and a TCR of 4.0

Chattanooga Recycle has fewer employees than the industry median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.0. 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.
