The verdict

Kemco runs at 164% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Refrigeration system (e.g., commercial, industrial, scientific) installation workplace, earning a grade D.

Kemco safety composite

Kemco scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 16%), 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).
