The verdict

Material Handling runs at 187% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Forklift repair and maintenance services workplace, earning a grade D.

Material Handling: 3.9 TCR = 187% of Forklift repair and maintenance services BLS 2.1 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Material Handling safety composite

Material Handling scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 32%), 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).
