The verdict

Main Plant runs at 100% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Fabricated structural metal manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Main Plant: 3.3 TCR = 100% of Fabricated structural metal manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Main Plant safety composite

Main Plant scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 64% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 41%), 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).
