Elk River runs at 50% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Sawdust, regrinding workplace, earning a grade A.

Elk River: 1.6 TCR = 50% of Sawdust, regrinding BLS 3.3 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Elk River safety composite

Elk River scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 83% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
