The verdict

Materials Recovery Facility runs at 154% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Materials recovery facilities (MRF) workplace, earning a grade D.

Materials Recovery Facility: 4.0 TCR = 154% of Materials recovery facilities (MRF) BLS 2.6 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Materials Recovery Facility safety composite

Materials Recovery Facility scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (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).
