The verdict

Facility 1 runs at 58% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Sodium hypochlorite manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Facility 1: 1.9 TCR = 58% of Sodium hypochlorite manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Facility 1 safety composite

Facility 1 scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 41%), 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).
