The verdict

Premium Paint: 1.8 TCR = 87% of Automotive paint shops BLS 2.1 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Premium Paint safety composite

Premium Paint scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 77% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
