The verdict

Plant 29 runs at 58% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Carded yarn manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Plant 29: 1.9 TCR = 58% of Carded yarn manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Plant 29 safety composite

Plant 29 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 68% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 26%), 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).

Plant 29 has fewer employees than the Carded yarn manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.5. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
