Pacific Scientific EMC - Chandler: 1.1 TCR = 33% of Explosives manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Pacific Scientific EMC - Chandler safety composite

Pacific Scientific EMC - Chandler scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 85% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 52%), 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).
