Houston MRF: 2.7 TCR = 103% of Materials recovery facilities (MRF) BLS 2.6 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Houston MRF safety composite

Houston MRF scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 64% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
