The verdict

Waukegan runs at 30% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Aircraft manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Waukegan: 1.0 TCR = 30% of Aircraft manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Waukegan safety composite

Waukegan scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 72% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 27%), 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).
