The verdict

OSH Princeton runs at 64% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Hardware stores workplace, earning a grade B.

OSH Princeton: 2.2 TCR = 64% of Hardware stores BLS 3.4 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

OSH Princeton safety composite

OSH Princeton scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 90% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 44%), 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).
