The verdict

ERAC runs at 185% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Cement, clay refractory, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

ERAC: 6.1 TCR = 185% of Cement, clay refractory, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ERAC safety composite

ERAC scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 8%), 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).
