The verdict

Meridian runs at 630% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical automotive body paint and interior repair and maintenance workplace, earning a grade F.

Meridian: 13.2 TCR = 630% of automotive body paint and interior repair and maintenance BLS 2.1 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Meridian safety composite

Meridian scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 73% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 3%), 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).
