The verdict

Muscle Shoals Plant runs at 8% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Potassium carbonate manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Muscle Shoals Plant: 0.3 TCR = 8% of Potassium carbonate manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Muscle Shoals Plant safety composite

Muscle Shoals Plant scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 96% 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).
