The verdict

Wm 1603 runs at 147% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical industry workplace, earning a grade D.

Wm 1603: 5.0 TCR = 147% of industry BLS 3.4 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Wm 1603 safety composite

Wm 1603 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 56% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 7%), 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).
