Tamaqua Plant: 3.5 TCR = 106% of Ice cream manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Tamaqua Plant safety composite

Tamaqua Plant scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 65% 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).
