GCM Chicago: 3.5 TCR = 105% of Machine shops BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

GCM Chicago safety composite

GCM Chicago scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 6%), 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).
