The verdict

Retail: 5.3 TCR = 156% of Superstores (i.e., food and general merchandise) BLS 3.4 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Retail safety composite

Retail scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 15%), 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).
