Plant 2: 8.9 TCR = 271% of Cups, plastics (except foam), manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Plant 2 safety composite

Plant 2 scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 54% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (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).
