The verdict

004-ORD runs at 161% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Transportation workplace, earning a grade D.

004-ORD: 7.3 TCR = 161% of Transportation BLS 4.5 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

004-ORD safety composite

004-ORD scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 18%), 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).
