The verdict

PALM runs at 24% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Nickel compounds, not specified elsewhere by process, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

PALM: 0.8 TCR = 24% of Nickel compounds, not specified elsewhere by process, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

PALM safety composite

PALM scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
