The verdict

17THCHEW runs at 84% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Hospitals, general medical and surgical workplace, earning a grade C.

17THCHEW: 6.3 TCR = 84% of Hospitals, general medical and surgical BLS 7.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

17THCHEW safety composite

17THCHEW scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 30%), 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).

17THCHEW (531 employees, TCR 6.3) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 492 employees and a TCR of 5.2

17THCHEW has more employees than the Hospitals, general medical and surgical median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 5.2. 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.
