Syntec Optics: 4.7 TCR = 143% of Awnings, rigid plastics or fiberglass, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Syntec Optics safety composite

Syntec Optics scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 68% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 34%), 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).
