The verdict

Facility 1 runs at 186% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Pretzels (except soft) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Facility 1: 7.6 TCR = 186% of Pretzels (except soft) manufacturing BLS 4.1 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Facility 1 safety composite

Facility 1 scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 3%), 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).

Facility 1 has fewer employees than the Pretzels (except soft) manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.4.
