The verdict
Plant 78 runs at 58% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Polyester fibers and filaments manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.
Plant 78: 1.9 TCR = 58% of Polyester fibers and filaments manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)
Plant 78 safety composite
Plant 78 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 38%), 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).
