The verdict

Tipper Tie Inc. runs at 51% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Bag opening, filling, and closing machines manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Tipper Tie Inc.: 1.7 TCR = 51% of Bag opening, filling, and closing machines manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Tipper Tie Inc. safety composite

Tipper Tie Inc. scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 69% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 46%), 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).
