Techstar Molding: 2.5 TCR = 75% of Pails, plastics, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Techstar Molding safety composite

Techstar Molding scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 86% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
