The verdict

BUF runs at 154% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Manufacture Non Woven Fiber workplace, earning a grade D.

BUF: 5.1 TCR = 154% of Manufacture Non Woven Fiber BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

BUF safety composite

BUF scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 31%), 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).
