The verdict

Plant 16 runs at 66% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Carded yarn manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Plant 16: 2.2 TCR = 66% of Carded yarn manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Plant 16 safety composite

Plant 16 scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 65% 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).
