The verdict

WoodWick Manufacturing runs at 37% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Candles manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

WoodWick Manufacturing: 1.2 TCR = 37% of Candles manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

WoodWick Manufacturing safety composite

WoodWick Manufacturing scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 51%), 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).
