PalAmerican Security safety composite

PalAmerican Security scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 55% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 38%), 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).

PalAmerican Security has more employees than the Guard services median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.3.
