The verdict

Krones runs at 50% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Food packaging machinery manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Krones: 1.6 TCR = 50% of Food packaging machinery manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Krones safety composite

Krones scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 70% 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).

Krones has more employees than the Food packaging machinery manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.4. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
