The verdict

White Center runs at 159% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Hardware stores workplace, earning a grade D.

White Center: 5.4 TCR = 159% of Hardware stores BLS 3.4 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

White Center safety composite

White Center scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 58% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 49%), 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).
