The verdict

Viracon runs at 77% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Flat glass (e.g., float, plate) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Viracon: 2.5 TCR = 77% of Flat glass (e.g., float, plate) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Viracon safety composite

Viracon scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 72% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
