The verdict

Bedford runs at 46% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Barge sections, prefabricated metal, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Bedford: 1.5 TCR = 46% of Barge sections, prefabricated metal, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Bedford safety composite

Bedford scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 86% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 47%), 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).
