The verdict

Psemc Ca runs at 144% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Explosives manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Psemc Ca: 4.8 TCR = 144% of Explosives manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Psemc Ca safety composite

Psemc Ca scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 17% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 1%), 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).
