The verdict

Cheshire runs at 172% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Chemical workplace, earning a grade D.

Cheshire: 3.8 TCR = 172% of Chemical BLS 2.2 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Cheshire safety composite

Cheshire scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 22%), 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).
