The verdict

Plant 2 runs at 113% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Motor vehicle metal stampings (e.g., body parts, fenders, hub caps, tops, trim) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Plant 2 safety composite

Plant 2 scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 55% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 30%), 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).
