The verdict

BW Cartage runs at 5% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Freight forwarding workplace, earning a grade A.

BW Cartage: 0.2 TCR = 5% of Freight forwarding BLS 4.5 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

BW Cartage safety composite

BW Cartage scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 96% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
