The verdict

Universal Storage Group runs at 43% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical General warehousing and storage workplace, earning a grade A.

Universal Storage Group: 2.5 TCR = 43% of General warehousing and storage BLS 5.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Universal Storage Group safety composite

Universal Storage Group scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 64% 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).
