The verdict

FRS runs at 162% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Motor vehicle hoses, rubber or plastics, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

FRS: 5.3 TCR = 162% of Motor vehicle hoses, rubber or plastics, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

FRS safety composite

FRS scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 67% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 27%), 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).
