The verdict

Plant 4 runs at 50% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Ball bearings manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Plant 4: 1.7 TCR = 50% of Ball bearings manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Plant 4 safety composite

Plant 4 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 71% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 36%), 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).

Where Plant 4 falls in its industry

125 Ball bearings manufacturing establishments

Safer than 71% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 2.8.

Grade B

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to South Carolina alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #4 safest of 17 Ball bearings manufacturing employers in South Carolina.

Plant 4 (61 employees, TCR 1.7) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 131 employees and a TCR of 2.8

Plant 4 has fewer employees than the Ball bearings manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.8. 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.
