The verdict

Cherokee runs at 94% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Industrial gases manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Cherokee: 3.1 TCR = 94% of Industrial gases manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Cherokee safety composite

Cherokee scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 73% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (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).
