The verdict
Plant WM runs at 69% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Polyester fibers and filaments manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.
Plant WM: 2.3 TCR = 69% of Polyester fibers and filaments manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)
Plant WM safety composite
Plant WM scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 57% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 46%), 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).
