The verdict

Slingshot runs at 52% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Book stores workplace, earning a grade B.

Slingshot: 1.8 TCR = 52% of Book stores BLS 3.4 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Slingshot safety composite

Slingshot scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 60% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 45%), 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).
