McPherson: 1.2 TCR = 37% of Fiberglass Insulation Products Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

McPherson safety composite

McPherson scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 82% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
