The verdict

GFOB Corporate runs at 15% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Hardware stores workplace, earning a grade A.

GFOB Corporate: 0.5 TCR = 15% of Hardware stores BLS 3.4 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

GFOB Corporate safety composite

GFOB Corporate scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 100% 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).
