The verdict

DSW runs at 275% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Distribution transformers, electric, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

DSW: 9.1 TCR = 275% of Distribution transformers, electric, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

DSW safety composite

DSW scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 2%), 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).
