The verdict

Core-Mark runs at 229% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical General-line groceries merchant wholesalers workplace, earning a grade F.

Core-Mark: 5.0 TCR = 229% of General-line groceries merchant wholesalers BLS 2.2 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Core-Mark safety composite

Core-Mark scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 59% 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).
