The verdict

Lincoln runs at 234% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Hardware stores workplace, earning a grade F.

Lincoln: 7.9 TCR = 234% of Hardware stores BLS 3.4 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Lincoln safety composite

Lincoln scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 38%), 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).
