The verdict

DBI runs at 57% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Bends, pipe, made from purchased metal pipe workplace, earning a grade B.

DBI: 1.9 TCR = 57% of Bends, pipe, made from purchased metal pipe BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

DBI safety composite

DBI scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 24%), 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).
