Mercedes-Benz U.S. Plant**: 11.2 TCR = 372% of Food Service BLS 3.0 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Mercedes-Benz U.S. Plant** safety composite

Mercedes-Benz U.S. Plant** scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 7%), 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).

Mercedes-Benz U.S. Plant** has fewer employees than the Food Service median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.5.
