The verdict

Plant 1 runs at 73% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Socks knitting or knitting and finishing workplace, earning a grade B.

Plant 1: 2.4 TCR = 73% of Socks knitting or knitting and finishing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Plant 1 safety composite

Plant 1 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 10%), 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).
