The verdict

Plant 5 runs at 155% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Cotton thread manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Plant 5: 5.1 TCR = 155% of Cotton thread manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Plant 5 safety composite

Plant 5 scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 16%), 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).
