The verdict

Merced RTS runs at 92% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical industry workplace, earning a grade C.

Merced RTS: 3.0 TCR = 92% of industry BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Merced RTS safety composite

Merced RTS scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 15%), 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).
