The verdict

Johnston runs at 365% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Warehousing workplace, earning a grade F.

Johnston: 8.0 TCR = 365% of Warehousing BLS 2.2 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Johnston safety composite

Johnston scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 60% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 19%), 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).
