The verdict

BNL runs at 96% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Plate work (e.g., bending, cutting, punching, shaping, welding), fabricated metal, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

BNL safety composite

BNL scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 63% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
