The verdict

Expal USA runs at 126% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Bombs manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Expal USA: 4.2 TCR = 126% of Bombs manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Expal USA safety composite

Expal USA scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 14%), 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).
