The verdict

CHI runs at 124% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Signs (except electrical) merchant wholesalers workplace, earning a grade D.

CHI: 2.7 TCR = 124% of Signs (except electrical) merchant wholesalers BLS 2.2 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

CHI safety composite

CHI scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 54% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 11%), 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).
