The verdict

WAFER runs at 160% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical industry workplace, earning a grade D.

WAFER: 3.5 TCR = 160% of industry BLS 2.2 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

WAFER safety composite

WAFER scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 9%), 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).
