Vanguard Products Corporation: 1.0 TCR = 30% of Coaxial mechanical face seals manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Vanguard Products Corporation safety composite

Vanguard Products Corporation scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 16%), 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).
