The verdict

Plant # 4 runs at 231% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Wood framed furniture, upholstered, household-type, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Plant # 4: 7.6 TCR = 231% of Wood framed furniture, upholstered, household-type, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Plant # 4 safety composite

Plant # 4 scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 20%), 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).
