The verdict

NDX Thoele runs at 41% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Dental Laboratories workplace, earning a grade A.

NDX Thoele: 1.4 TCR = 41% of Dental Laboratories BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

NDX Thoele safety composite

NDX Thoele scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 79% 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).
