The verdict

Kalamazoo runs at 116% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Blood Bank workplace, earning a grade C.

Kalamazoo: 4.4 TCR = 116% of Blood Bank BLS 3.8 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Kalamazoo safety composite

Kalamazoo scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 74% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 49%), 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).
