Colgate Tennessee safety composite

Colgate Tennessee scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 64% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 50%), 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 A

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Tennessee alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #3 safest of 5 Toothpastes, gels, and tooth p employers in Tennessee.

Colgate Tennessee (286 employees, TCR 1.6) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 113 employees and a TCR of 2.3

Colgate Tennessee has more employees than the Toothpastes, gels, and tooth powders man median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.3. 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.
