The verdict

Caraustar runs at 46% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Boxes, corrugated and solid fiber, made from purchased paper or paperboard workplace, earning a grade A.

Caraustar: 1.5 TCR = 46% of Boxes, corrugated and solid fiber, made from purchased paper or paperboard BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Caraustar safety composite

Caraustar scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 71% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 20%), 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).
