The verdict

ED runs at 101% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Thread, all fibers, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

ED: 3.3 TCR = 101% of Thread, all fibers, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ED safety composite

ED scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 27%), 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).
