The verdict

Plant 1 runs at 143% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Sprockets, power transmission equipment, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Plant 1: 4.7 TCR = 143% of Sprockets, power transmission equipment, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Plant 1 safety composite

Plant 1 scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 33%), 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).
