The verdict

DK runs at 85% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical General warehousing and storage workplace, earning a grade C.

DK: 4.9 TCR = 85% of General warehousing and storage BLS 5.8 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

DK safety composite

DK scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 33%), 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).
