Manufacturing runs at 266% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Folding paper and paperboard containers (except corrugated) made from purchased paperboard workplace, earning a grade F.

Manufacturing: 8.8 TCR = 266% of Folding paper and paperboard containers (except corrugated) made from purchased paperboard BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Manufacturing safety composite

Manufacturing scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 3%), 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).
