The verdict

Automation IG runs at 24% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Bellows, industrial type, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Automation IG: 0.8 TCR = 24% of Bellows, industrial type, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Automation IG safety composite

Automation IG scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 87% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
