The verdict

Factory 1 runs at 137% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Plate Work Manufacturer workplace, earning a grade D.

Factory 1: 4.5 TCR = 137% of Plate Work Manufacturer BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Factory 1 safety composite

Factory 1 scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 81% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 49%), 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).

Factory 1 (38 employees, TCR 4.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 55 employees and a TCR of 4.5

Factory 1 has fewer employees than the Plate Work Manufacturer median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.5. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
