The verdict

B&B Manufacturing runs at 83% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Speed changers (i.e., power transmission equipment) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

B&B Manufacturing: 2.7 TCR = 83% of Speed changers (i.e., power transmission equipment) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

B&B Manufacturing safety composite

B&B Manufacturing scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 54% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 40%), 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).
