The verdict
DSE runs at 124% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Autotransformers manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.
DSE: 4.1 TCR = 124% of Autotransformers manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)
DSE safety composite
DSE scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 24%), 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).
