Flow-Rite Controls: 2.0 TCR = 61% of All Other Plastics Product Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Flow-Rite Controls safety composite

Flow-Rite Controls scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 74% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (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).
