The verdict

Co-operative Plating runs at 101% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Electroplating metals and formed products for the trade workplace, earning a grade C.

Co-operative Plating: 3.3 TCR = 101% of Electroplating metals and formed products for the trade BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Co-operative Plating safety composite

Co-operative Plating scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 58% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 29%), 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).
