The verdict

Niles runs at 48% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Wholesale Distributor workplace, earning a grade A.

Niles: 1.1 TCR = 48% of Wholesale Distributor BLS 2.2 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Niles safety composite

Niles scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
