The verdict

Distribution runs at 69% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Valves, hydraulic and pneumatic, merchant wholesalers workplace, earning a grade B.

Distribution: 1.5 TCR = 69% of Valves, hydraulic and pneumatic, merchant wholesalers BLS 2.2 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Distribution safety composite

Distribution scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 72% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 21%), 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).
