The verdict

Wm 3548: 8.3 TCR = 244% of Discount Department Stores BLS 3.4 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Wm 3548 safety composite

Wm 3548 scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% 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).
