The verdict

Valmet runs at 73% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Paper making machinery manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Valmet: 2.4 TCR = 73% of Paper making machinery manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Valmet safety composite

Valmet scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 84% 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).
