The verdict

Plant R2 runs at 258% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Material Recovery Facilities workplace, earning a grade F.

Plant R2: 6.7 TCR = 258% of Material Recovery Facilities BLS 2.6 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Plant R2 safety composite

Plant R2 scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 26%), 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).
