The verdict

Gates runs at 78% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Motor vehicle hoses, rubber or plastics, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Gates: 2.6 TCR = 78% of Motor vehicle hoses, rubber or plastics, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Gates safety composite

Gates scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 60% 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).
