The verdict

Creative Automation runs at 58% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Belt conveyor systems manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Creative Automation: 1.9 TCR = 58% of Belt conveyor systems manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Creative Automation safety composite

Creative Automation scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
