The verdict

ZF-Lafayette runs at 55% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

ZF-Lafayette: 3.0 TCR = 55% of Manufacturing BLS 5.4 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ZF-Lafayette safety composite

ZF-Lafayette scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 48%), 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).
