True Value Manufacturing: 5.1 TCR = 153% of Paints (except artist's) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

True Value Manufacturing safety composite

True Value Manufacturing scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 10%), 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).
