East Coast Erosion: 7.8 TCR = 238% of Nonwoven fabrics manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

East Coast Erosion safety composite

East Coast Erosion scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 12% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 1%), 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).
