The verdict

Environmental Express runs at 145% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Refractometers, laboratory-type, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Environmental Express: 4.8 TCR = 145% of Refractometers, laboratory-type, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Environmental Express safety composite

Environmental Express scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 6%), 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).
