The verdict

Tabco runs at 275% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Powder coatings manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Tabco: 9.1 TCR = 275% of Powder coatings manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Tabco safety composite

Tabco scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 5%), 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).
