The verdict

BC runs at 180% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical industry workplace, earning a grade D.

BC: 4.0 TCR = 180% of industry BLS 2.2 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

BC safety composite

BC scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 34%), 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).
