The verdict

Methuen runs at 146% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Methuen: 4.8 TCR = 146% of Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Methuen safety composite

Methuen scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% 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).
