The verdict

NCH runs at 137% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Freight Transportation workplace, earning a grade D.

NCH: 6.2 TCR = 137% of Freight Transportation BLS 4.5 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

NCH safety composite

NCH scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 27%), 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).
