The verdict

Plant 8T runs at 86% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Artificial and Synthetic Fibers and Fila workplace, earning a grade C.

Plant 8T: 2.8 TCR = 86% of Artificial and Synthetic Fibers and Fila BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Plant 8T safety composite

Plant 8T scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 62% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 40%), 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).

Plant 8T (211 employees, TCR 2.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 167 employees and a TCR of 2.0

Plant 8T has more employees than the Artificial and Synthetic Fibers and Fila median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.0. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
