The verdict

Tazewell runs at 295% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Cars, mining, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Tazewell: 9.7 TCR = 295% of Cars, mining, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Tazewell safety composite

Tazewell scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 8%), 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).
