The verdict

Gadsden runs at 49% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Gadsden: 1.6 TCR = 49% of Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Gadsden safety composite

Gadsden scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 54%), 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).
