The verdict

Blue Origin runs at 13% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Space vehicles, complete, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Blue Origin: 0.4 TCR = 13% of Space vehicles, complete, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Blue Origin safety composite

Blue Origin scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 73% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 36%), 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).

Blue Origin has more employees than the Space vehicles, complete, manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.1. 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.
