The verdict

0049-00000012 runs at 368% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Water workplace, earning a grade F.

0049-00000012: 4.4 TCR = 368% of Water BLS 1.2 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

0049-00000012 safety composite

0049-00000012 scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 61% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 48%), 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).
