Houston OEC: 1.7 TCR = 76% of Industrial Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers BLS 2.2 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Houston OEC safety composite

Houston OEC scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% 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).
