The verdict

Bowling Green runs at 318% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Material Handling workplace, earning a grade F.

Bowling Green: 7.0 TCR = 318% of Material Handling BLS 2.2 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Bowling Green safety composite

Bowling Green scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 18%), 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).
