The verdict

BIR runs at 126% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical General freight trucking, long-distance, less-than-truckload (LTL) workplace, earning a grade D.

BIR: 5.7 TCR = 126% of General freight trucking, long-distance, less-than-truckload (LTL) BLS 4.5 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

BIR safety composite

BIR scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 20%), 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).
