The verdict

Natchitoches runs at 27% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Natchitoches: 0.9 TCR = 27% of Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Natchitoches safety composite

Natchitoches scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 93% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 54%), 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).
