The verdict

Bivar runs at 72% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Optoelectronic devices manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Bivar: 2.4 TCR = 72% of Optoelectronic devices manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Bivar safety composite

Bivar scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 77% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 13%), 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).

Bivar (42 employees, TCR 2.4) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 216 employees and a TCR of 0.9

Bivar has fewer employees than the Optoelectronic devices manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 0.9. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
