ROCHESTER-HGST: 0.5 TCR = 14% of Storage devices, computer, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ROCHESTER-HGST safety composite

ROCHESTER-HGST scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 77% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
