The verdict

BLN runs at 9% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Orthopedic devices manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

BLN: 0.3 TCR = 9% of Orthopedic devices manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

BLN safety composite

BLN scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 96% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).

BLN has more employees than the Orthopedic devices manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.1. 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.
