The verdict

Burden Road runs at 142% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Tire shredding machinery manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Burden Road: 4.7 TCR = 142% of Tire shredding machinery manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Burden Road safety composite

Burden Road scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 26%), 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).

Burden Road (50 employees, TCR 4.7) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 70 employees and a TCR of 3.0

Burden Road has fewer employees than the Tire shredding machinery manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.0. 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.
