The verdict

Meridian runs at 132% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Car washes workplace, earning a grade D.

Meridian: 2.8 TCR = 132% of Car washes BLS 2.1 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Meridian safety composite

Meridian scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 74% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
