The verdict

Plant 3 runs at 138% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Cups, plastics (except foam), manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Plant 3: 4.5 TCR = 138% of Cups, plastics (except foam), manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Plant 3 safety composite

Plant 3 scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 36%), 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).
