The verdict

MECS Inc. runs at 119% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Sodium inorganic compounds, not specified elsewhere by process, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

MECS Inc.: 3.9 TCR = 119% of Sodium inorganic compounds, not specified elsewhere by process, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

MECS Inc. safety composite

MECS Inc. scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 11%), 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).
