The verdict

Vulcan runs at 221% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical PVC pipe manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Vulcan: 7.3 TCR = 221% of PVC pipe manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Vulcan safety composite

Vulcan scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 54% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (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).
