Kress Corporation safety composite

Kress Corporation scores safer than 51% of same-industry peers on total case rate (tcr), blended into one 0-100 breakdown. 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).
