The verdict

009-AKR runs at 89% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Transportation workplace, earning a grade C.

009-AKR: 4.0 TCR = 89% of Transportation BLS 4.5 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

009-AKR safety composite

009-AKR scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 52%), 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).
