The verdict

Distribution Center runs at 101% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Polystyrene foam packaging manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Distribution Center: 3.3 TCR = 101% of Polystyrene foam packaging manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Distribution Center safety composite

Distribution Center scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 43%), 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).
