The verdict

SOTAR runs at 486% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Inflatable plastic boats, heavy-duty, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

SOTAR: 16.0 TCR = 486% of Inflatable plastic boats, heavy-duty, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

SOTAR safety composite

SOTAR scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 90% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 4%), 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).
