The verdict

BAM Inc. runs at 46% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Aircraft brakes manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

BAM Inc.: 1.5 TCR = 46% of Aircraft brakes manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

BAM Inc. safety composite

BAM Inc. scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 59% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 23%), 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).
