The verdict

BPI runs at 127% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Plumbing contractors workplace, earning a grade D.

BPI: 3.5 TCR = 127% of Plumbing contractors BLS 2.8 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

BPI safety composite

BPI scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 47%), 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).
