The verdict

BF Facility runs at 128% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Thread, all fibers, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

BF Facility: 4.2 TCR = 128% of Thread, all fibers, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

BF Facility safety composite

BF Facility scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% 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).
