The verdict

Reading runs at 169% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Superalloys, iron or steel, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Reading: 5.6 TCR = 169% of Superalloys, iron or steel, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Reading safety composite

Reading scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 24%), 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).
