The verdict

Gates runs at 213% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Gates: 4.7 TCR = 213% of manufacturing BLS 2.2 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Gates safety composite

Gates scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 25%), 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).
