The verdict
BF runs at 248% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical industry workplace, earning a grade F.
BF: 5.5 TCR = 248% of industry BLS 2.2 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)
BF safety composite
BF scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 30%), 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).

Where BF falls in its industry
1,299 industry establishmentsSafer than 30% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 3.7.
Narrower to New York alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #9 safest of 20 industry employers in New York.
