The verdict

Direct Color Systems: 2.5 TCR = 77% of Offset printing (except books, printing grey goods) BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Direct Color Systems safety composite

Direct Color Systems scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (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).
