The verdict

Blanchard Machinery runs at 61% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Agricultural machinery and equipment repair and maintenance services workplace, earning a grade B.

Blanchard Machinery: 1.3 TCR = 61% of Agricultural machinery and equipment repair and maintenance services BLS 2.1 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Blanchard Machinery safety composite

Blanchard Machinery scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 42%), 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).
