Franklin Plant 2: 0.1 TCR = 14% of Engineering research and development laboratories or services BLS 0.5 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Franklin Plant 2 safety composite

Franklin Plant 2 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 97% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
