The verdict

Paola runs at 75% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Applicators, wood, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Paola: 2.5 TCR = 75% of Applicators, wood, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Paola safety composite

Paola scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% 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).
