The verdict

Material Recovery Facility runs at 98% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Materials recovery facilities (MRF) workplace, earning a grade C.

Material Recovery Facility: 2.5 TCR = 98% of Materials recovery facilities (MRF) BLS 2.6 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Material Recovery Facility safety composite

Material Recovery Facility scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 68% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 24%), 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).
