The verdict

Copps Industries runs at 92% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Starch glues manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Copps Industries: 3.0 TCR = 92% of Starch glues manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Copps Industries safety composite

Copps Industries scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 6%), 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).
