LSC Communications: 3.0 TCR = 91% of Offset printing (except books, printing grey goods) BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

LSC Communications safety composite

LSC Communications scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 43%), 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).
