The verdict

Hammer Packaging runs at 75% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Commercial gravure printing workplace, earning a grade B.

Hammer Packaging: 2.5 TCR = 75% of Commercial gravure printing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Hammer Packaging safety composite

Hammer Packaging scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (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).
