The verdict

BADA runs at 141% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Balancing equipment, motor vehicle, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

BADA: 4.6 TCR = 141% of Balancing equipment, motor vehicle, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

BADA safety composite

BADA scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 22%), 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).
