The verdict

Ver-tech runs at 71% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Soaps (e.g., bar, chip, powder) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Ver-tech: 2.3 TCR = 71% of Soaps (e.g., bar, chip, powder) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Ver-tech safety composite

Ver-tech scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 84% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 48%), 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).
