The verdict

SD runs at 80% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Thread, all fibers, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

SD: 2.6 TCR = 80% of Thread, all fibers, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

SD safety composite

SD scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 46% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (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).

Grade C

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Georgia alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #38 safest of 65 Thread, all fibers, manufactur employers in Georgia.

SD (1,224 employees, TCR 2.6) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 137 employees and a TCR of 2.5

SD has more employees than the Thread, all fibers, manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.5. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
