The verdict

Norlake runs at 82% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Coolers, refrigeration, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Norlake: 2.7 TCR = 82% of Coolers, refrigeration, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Norlake safety composite

Norlake scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 28%), 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).
