The verdict

Plant 39 runs at 65% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Carded yarn manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Plant 39: 2.1 TCR = 65% of Carded yarn manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Plant 39 safety composite

Plant 39 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 63% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 24%), 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).
