The verdict

Kalamazoo runs at 32% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical General warehousing and storage workplace, earning a grade A.

Kalamazoo: 1.9 TCR = 32% of General warehousing and storage BLS 5.8 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Kalamazoo safety composite

Kalamazoo scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 86% 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).
