The verdict

Unified Brands runs at 79% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Coolers, refrigeration, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Unified Brands: 2.6 TCR = 79% of Coolers, refrigeration, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Unified Brands safety composite

Unified Brands scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 39%), 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).
