Mid-Town Production: 2.0 TCR = 62% of Candles manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Mid-Town Production safety composite

Mid-Town Production scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 82% 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).
