The verdict

1-VTL-Apex runs at 234% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical industry workplace, earning a grade F.

1-VTL-Apex: 6.6 TCR = 234% of industry BLS 2.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

1-VTL-Apex safety composite

1-VTL-Apex scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 73% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 14%), 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).

1,634 industry establishments

Safer than 14% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 1.9.

Grade F

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to North Carolina alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #35 safest of 40 industry employers in North Carolina.

1-VTL-Apex (30 employees, TCR 6.6) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 52 employees and a TCR of 1.9

1-VTL-Apex has fewer employees than the industry median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.9. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
