The verdict

Unit #0384 runs at 45% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Retail workplace, earning a grade A.

Unit #0384: 1.5 TCR = 45% of Retail BLS 3.4 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Unit #0384 safety composite

Unit #0384 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 92% 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).
