The verdict

Butler Automatic runs at 65% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Bag opening, filling, and closing machines manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Butler Automatic: 2.2 TCR = 65% of Bag opening, filling, and closing machines manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Butler Automatic safety composite

Butler Automatic scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 55% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 21%), 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).
