The verdict

Sentry runs at 95% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Belt conveyor systems manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Sentry: 3.1 TCR = 95% of Belt conveyor systems manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Sentry safety composite

Sentry scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 55% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 38%), 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).

Sentry has more employees than the Belt conveyor systems manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.5. 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.
