The verdict

027-BGR runs at 61% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Transportation workplace, earning a grade B.

027-BGR: 2.8 TCR = 61% of Transportation BLS 4.5 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

027-BGR safety composite

027-BGR scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 86% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 36%), 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).

027-BGR (42 employees, TCR 2.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 58 employees and a TCR of 5.6

027-BGR has fewer employees than the Transportation median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 5.6. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
