The verdict

Unitrac R.R. Materials runs at 120% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Steel manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Unitrac R.R. Materials: 4.0 TCR = 120% of Steel manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Unitrac R.R. Materials safety composite

Unitrac R.R. Materials scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 87% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 35%), 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).

Unitrac R.R. Materials has fewer employees than the Steel manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.7. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
