The verdict

Newton runs at 62% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical industry workplace, earning a grade B.

Newton: 2.0 TCR = 62% of industry BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Newton safety composite

Newton scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 68% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 16%), 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).
