The verdict

YCS runs at 175% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Cups, polystyrene foam, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

YCS: 5.8 TCR = 175% of Cups, polystyrene foam, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

YCS safety composite

YCS scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 19%), 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).
